Crisp romaine lettuce tossed in homemade Caesar dressing, crunchy croutons, charred asparagus and hard boiled quail eggs – a great spin on traditional Caesar salad.

This is not your traditional Caesar salad, not is the dressing. It is not made with raw eggs or anchovies and it only requires a few pantry staples.

And I promise you, the dressing is still full of flavor and with light texture.

I make Caesar salad quite often. But this is the first time I made it with quail eggs.

Last time I made it was a 2 weeks ago. When we were out to dinner last weekend I had to stop myself from ordering a Caesar, since I had planned to make this quail eggs and asparagus version the nex day.

I sometimes add a few extra ingredients, but if you are fan of the classic, you can skip my additions and still try the dressing.

Since it is asparagus season, I usually grill (or roast) some in advance and keep then in the fridge to add to salads or omelettes.

Quail eggs are a great way to add extra protein to salads and jazz up their look. they cook very quickly, then you just need to peel them.
