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.

It is precisely a salad for people who don't generally eat salads.

The big uncut leaves are suited for slow nibbling of token amounts of salad.

Croutons are recognizable from a distance as a non vegetable ingredient, making it attractive to someone who'd rather not eat vegetables at all. To me they're just stale bread.

I'd think that peoples' main objection to salad is the uncooked veggies, which isn't addressed at all with caesar salad. I don't generally trust raw vegetables to not make me sick. Especially in the US.

What does this sentence even mean?

That's why this should be instead a discussion of pot pies!
