Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 thick slices hearty bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 anchovies
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 romaine lettuce heart
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the croutons: Combine the oil and garlic in a small bowl and whisk for 10 seconds. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat. Add the Parmesan, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again. Transfer to a small baking sheet, drizzle with a little more oil and bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • For the dressing: Combine the Parmesan, yolk, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic and Worcestershire in a food processor. Pulse 3 to 4 times until well combined. While the processor is running, drizzle in the oil and process until a smooth emulsion forms, about 30 seconds. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • For the bites: Tear the leaves from the romaine heart and arrange on a platter. Place a few croutons and tomato halves inside each leaf. Drizzle each leaf with about a tablespoon of dressing (you will have leftovers). Sprinkle the bites with Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

CAESAR SALAD BITES

This can be a quick last minute appetizer or something you can throw together quickly to take to a pot luck. Generally I always have these items on hand which adds to the ease. I have also subbed out other dressings like Green Goddess with fantastic results. I love it because it looks impressive, yet it is easy to make. Serve immediately or you may put the platter in the refrigerator for a few hours.

These bite-size appetizers have all the flavors of your favorite taco salad -- zesty ground beef, smooth sour cream and, of course, a crunchy tortilla shell. Taco seasoning varies greatly depending on the brand, so make sure to taste yours before you add it to the meat and adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly.

Time 25m

Yield about 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the wire rack
1 pound ground beef (90/10)
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Kosher salt
16 miniature cup-shaped corn tortilla chips
4 ounces pepper jack cheese, cut into 16 cubes
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 small plum tomato, diced
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray.
  • Use your hands to mix the ground beef, taco seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until just combined. Drop heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the rack (about 16 total), then use your hands to roll the portioned meat into balls. Press a tortilla chip into the top of each meatball, making sure that the meat goes mostly up the sides of the chip (be careful not to break the chips). Put 1 cheese cube in the middle of each chip.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheet once halfway, until the meat is just cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bites to a large platter, top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with the lettuce and tomato. Serve with hot sauce.

MINI CAESAR SALAD BITES



Mini Caesar Salad Bites image

A simple caesar salad served in individual garlic, buttery and crisp cups. No utensils required for consumption so it's perfect for a party or anywhere else you'd like a lovely, easy, fresh and unique hors d'oeuvre. I came up with this recipe because I wanted to serve a vegetable based appetizer but was tired of the standard veggie platter. I thought of regular salads, but they were too finicky for guests to deal with. (hard to juggle a glass of champagne and eat a salad) I needed something that people could easily pop into their mouths in one or 2 bites. Thus, this recipe was born! :)

Time 15m

Yield 45 mini salad cups, 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

45 wonton wrappers
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped very finely
3/4 cup caesar salad dressing (adjust to taste and consistency)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
nonstick cooking spray
lemon wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray. Melt the butter in microwavable safe dish and stir in garlic salt. Set aside.
  • Place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin. Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. The wrapper will overlap itself and stick up out of the cup. Brush insides with the garlic butter and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned and crisp. (time may vary according to your oven, so keep a close eye on them) Remove from the tin and allow to cool while preparing salad.
  • Finely chop the romaine lettuce. If you have a food processor, use it. You really need a fine fine chop in order to fill the cups properly, so don't be lazy with this step!
  • Pour on caesar salad dressing and stir until all pieces are coated. Adjust dressing (adding more or less) to suit personal preference.
  • Spoon salad mixture into cooled wonton cups and sprinkle with freshly grated parmasan cheese. Garnish with fresh lemon, if desired.
  • Bon Appetit! :).
