Mary Berry Caesar Salad is a classic green salad made with crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, shaved Parmesan, and a creamy dressing with garlic, lemon, and anchovy for depth. Unlike heavy versions, this salad keeps the dressing light and well-balanced, allowing each ingredient to stand out clearly.

  • Lemon juice – 1½ tablespoons

  • Olive oil – 4 tablespoons

  • Black pepper – to taste
