A super delicious Caesar Salad Sandwich allows to have your salad and sandwich all in one! Caesar salad tossed in a light and tangy dressing, made without raw eggs, stuffed inside a toasted garlic ciabatta makes the perfect sandwich!
There’s something amazing that happens when you put cold Caesar salad inside a warm, crispy loaf of garlicky bread. This is a sandwich that my kids absolutely love! It’s a great way to get them to eat something green and to enjoy it!
CAESAR SALAD DRESSING
You probably have most of the ingredients for the salad dressing on hand. Mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp anchovy paste (you may not have that on hand), 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 large clove or 2 small cloves of grated garlic, 3 dashes of hot sauce, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
I know anchovy paste sounds a little crazy, but it adds great flavor, and I promise you won’t be able to identify it in the dressing.
You can put everything in a food processor or a blender, but my favorite way to mix is to put the ingredients in a mason jar and shake until everything is thoroughly mixed.
THE LETTUCE
This recipe calls for crunchy Romaine lettuce cut into bite size pieces. Be sure to wash the lettuce thoroughly, even if you’re using organic lettuce. Often, I find bugs in organic lettuce, which can ruin an appetite really quickly. If you’re not using organic lettuce, you’ll want to be sure to wash off any pesticides that may be on the lettuce. A salad spinner works really well for this job.
In a large bowl, toss the lettuce and the dressing together with 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to complete the sandwich filling.
The Bread
Choose a loaf of bread that is long so that you have room to stuff the salad inside of it. A semolina loaf, a baguette, a french loaf, or ciabatta bread all work great.
Cut the loaf in half and using a knife, a spoon, or even your fingers, hollow out the center of each half of the bread. Brush the insides of the bread with oil, then sprinkle into the cavity some salt, pepper, and garlic powder and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Assembling the sandwich
After the bread has toasted, stuff as much salad as you can into the center of each half of the loaf of bread and enjoy!
