It casts the same spell as pizza. You'd have a hard time finding someone who doesn't really enjoy it. It even works on people who don't generally like salads.

I don't like it. I like salads that have tasty, fresh, delicious vegetables (and often fruits and/or nuts) where the dressing just adds some pizazz and tartness.

To me caesar salad is just dressing where the lettuce is only there to act as scaffolding.

This is exactly why I love Cesar salads. I have always disliked vegetables, trying many times in my life to eat them more because that's what health "experts" say we need to do.

I don't like vegetables fresh, I don't like them grilled, I don't like them stewed.

Cover them in Cesar dressing tho and I can eat an extra large salad (hopefully with some protein too).

You remain unconvinced that vegetables are good for you?
