Baby Spinach Caesar Salad with Prawn Skewers
Prep Time20 Minutes
Servings3
Cook Time13 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cups sourdough bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (see Note)
4 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus some for sprinkling
6 cold, cooked prawns skewers, patted dry
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp Cajun spice (see Note)
1/2 cup store-bought or homemade caesar dressing (see Note)
1 (5 oz/142 g) tub fresh baby spinach
6 lemon slices, halved, for garnish
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, unless non-stick. Place bread in a bowl. Add 2 Tbsp of the oil and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and toss to combine. Spread bread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes, and then give bread a stir. Bake 5 minutes more, or until you have golden croutons. Remove from the oven and set croutons aside for now. 

 

  1. Set prawns skewers on a wide plate. Combine remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and Cajun spice in a small bowl. Brush some of the mixture on both sides of each prawn skewer.

 

  1. Put caesar dressing in a large bowl. Add the spinach and croutons and toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, to taste, and garnish with lemon slices. Set two prawns skewers beside the salad on each plate, and serve.

 

Note: Sourdough bread is available in our Bakery Department. 2 slices of it should yield the cubed bread needed here. Cajun spice, also called Cajun seasoning, is sold in our bottled herb and spice aisle. To make your own caesar salad dressing, combine, in a bowl, 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp anchovy paste, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, a few splashes Worcestershire and Tabasco, and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
