Bacon, croutons, parmesan cheese and lots of garlic. If you love caesar salad, you have to try this one! A great side for your pasta dinner, or add some grilled chicken and make it a meal. This is a great salad for potlucks, just double or triple the recipe. NOTE: the 1 hour cook time is just the time the dressing chills in the fridge and the flavors blend.
