Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad
It’s made with Brussels sprouts!
I am a huge Brussels sprouts fan.
I can still remember the first time I had them.
A friend made them with some butter and bread crumbs and I thought they were out-of-this-world delicious!
They have become one of my favorite vegetables, and they make this Caesar salad over the top fantastic! 
Aren’t they CUTE!
Really, they fill you up way better than lettuce, so they are just perfect for this salad. 
They have such an incredible crunch, sliced Brussels sprouts stay crisp for days after they are sliced. 
It’s easiest I’ve found to slice them in a food processor with the slicing blade attached.
Just pile them into the chamber and start slicing.
In minutes you can slice pounds of Brussels sprouts.
Alternatively, you can slice them with a knife, it may take a bit longer but really this salad will be worth it. Slice them thin.
Croutons are typically found in a Caesar salad, mine are just bigger!
I brushed sliced baguette with melted butter and garlic and toasted it in a pan over medium heat. 
The parmesan cheese (Oh, the parmesan cheese… how wonderful it is!).
To create large thin slices I used a vegetable peeler and created large slivers.
Grated will work well too. I usually have a go big or go home attitude, which probably explains the bread and the cheese!
I like a little added diced red onion and then… the dressing.
Select a great Caesar dressing… with a salad like this, the dressing is the most important part! Buy the best one your can find.
ANOTHER great way to enjoy this hearty salad is to saute the brussels sprouts, not long, just about a minute in a really hot skillet I use cast iron, and this will then become a salad on a whole new level.
This salad stays so crunchy even after it’s mixed with the dressing!
Add this to your menu and you may be surprised by who ends up liking Brussels sprouts! Slicing a whole bunch of Brussels sprouts at the beginning of the week and having them on hand makes it easy to whip this salad up in minutes (add some chicken if you like, too!).

This looks SO fresh and delicious! I think I would use the dressings to make chicken caesar wraps — the comment above mine inspired me! Yum!
Oh I love this salad so much. And I use that exact dressing often, makes great chicken ceasar wraps too!

I’d love to do something with pasta & chicken & veggies 🙂 Make a pasta salad, maybe throw in some lettuce too. I would definitely need to look up some recipes though because I’m not very creative and I know people have great ideas out there that I can use 🙂
I would love to pair the pomegranate with a spinach and strawberry salad topped with walnuts and feta cheese!
i would make a large cobb salad

We already use their products. They are extremely local to us. So local, in fact, that I once almost rented out a huge old farmhouse they own.
Their dressings are fantastic and I use them on everything from the most common in our house: Ceasar salad – to marinating cuts of meat before grilling them.

I would use the Ginger Sesame Salad Dressing to make a chicken stir fry
I would use it to make Coleslaw

I’d make baked chicken wings to dip in ranch dressing.
i would make a great healthy salad and top it with marzetti’s dressing
This would be great on all my salads.
I’d incorporate the dressing in potato salad. 🙂
I would make a chicken caesar salad.
We love a great Caesar salad with chicken. Or shrimp!
I will use the Marzetti Simply Dressed Ranch dressing as a dip for my homemade chicken nuggets.
I would use the Thousand Island Dressing on a salad.
This will fit in perfectly with my world famous wedge salad.
I would use Strawberry Poppyseed and make an amazing kale salad with blue cheese, almond slices and strawberries!
