- Use an immersion blender to puree the ingredients in the bowl.

- Top with croutons and shredded Parmesan.
- Drizzle with the Caesar dressing and toss to combine.

Notes
- I don’t always use the croutons, but I frequently customize my salads with whatever veggies I have. I really like sliced cucumbers and Kalamata olives on Caesar salad.
