Introduction

These caesar salad lettuce cups are also a nice way to serve a few extra vegetables for any get together. Salads are often thought of as sit-down servings because of the fork and knife operation. But if you’re hosting an hor d’oeuvres party or just need a few quick appetizers, these caesar salad lettuce cups are a great option. I love the fresh contrast these caesar salad lettuce cups provide compared to other appetizers. They’re light, colorful, and the dressing is tangy delicious.
