Grilled Shrimp Caesar Salad

Salads can be healthy, satisfying meals on their own or perfect accompaniments to main dishes. Making a gourmet salad at home is easy if you follow a few simple guidelines.

• Keep it simple. Pick a few key ingredients and showcase them.
• Be sure to have a balance of flavors. You'll want sweet, acidic and savory in each bite (depending on the salad).
• Pair different textures. Textures are what make your salads interesting.
• Eat the rainbow. A good variety of greens, root vegetables, and colorful vinaigrettes make a salad reach restaurant stature.

 In this video, featuring once again our Trini chef Jason Peru, we see how to make a Grilled Shrimp Caesar Salad. The key to a great Caesar salad is a great Caesar dressing. Though most people buy Caesar salad dressing in a bottle, homemade is incredibly easy to make and tastes so much better than store bought and chef Jason demonstrates how to do just that!
