I agree with you in using romaine hearts rather than iceberg lettuce for the salad, infact that's what i use everytime i make cesar salad, although i still have to embark on making my own homemade dressing. The iceberg lettuce we really use it for sandwich or if we'er having burgers... This salad looks so good!

Make lots of dressing in advance. Use a food processor and store the whole processor bowl in the fridge and blitz it a few seconds before using if it starts to separate. Try this in advance to practice to made sure it works. Next, make all the croutons ahead and store inan irtight tupperware or jar. Then clean the lettuce in advance and store in serving bowls in the fridge. Alternatively, if that is too much put them in coolers in plastic bags with ice at the bottom. Just before eating toss everthing together and voila! cesar salad for 45! Do not mix the dressing with the lettuce until the last moment. Alternatively, I have seen this catering trick used... pour the dressing to the bottom of the serving bowl, pile on the leaves, stick it in the fridge. When ready to serve, toss the salad then. That minimizes the risk of wilted leaves. Good luck! Trudy, I don’t see why this should be too much of a challenge. Make lots of dressing in advance.

We are having our son's wedding rehearsal dinner in our back yard. He and his finance have requested Cesar salad. It is June 1,2007. My concern is wilting and becoming a big fat mess before it is time to eat. Thanks for your time and insight on my problem!! Trudy Dickason Any suggestions on making a Cesar salad for 45!!

A wooden bowl is also like to retain some flavors since it won't all wash off. But if you were served a salad made in the kitchen in a wooden or glass bowl, I doubt one could identify which salad came from what... so use what you have. Wood is just more classic...
