Caesar Salad with Fresh Herbs

There are lots of reasons to love Caesar Salad and my addition of fresh herbs to the salad is absolutely lovely!

I recently discovered Brightland olive oils. Bright and fresh! My favorite is Lucid, fresh lemon blended with Frantoio olives grown on small family farms in California’s Central Coast. Their olives are cold-pressed by a master miller within 90 minutes of harvest for freshness and flavor. I love adding this beautiful olive oil to salad dressings. I purchase my olive oil locally at Ladles and Linens Kitchen Shoppe, downtown Roanoke and you can also find Brightland olive oil on-line.
