Easy Fresh Caesar Salad
Delicious fresh homemade Caesar Salad and it’s basically free
Sitting at home, craving something kinda healthy, I opened the fridge to find nothing but a few breakfast items (egg, bacon, potatoes…), lemons/juice, and a fresh, unused romaine lettuce. Hmm, I thought… I also have whiskey! So, after about 10 minutes of prep followed by 3 more minutes of cocktailing, I had an easy fresh Caesar salad, paired with a beautifully reciprocal whiskey sour…. no egg waste, and all the best taste!
