Caesar Salad: Apizza Scholls

What’s in it: Whole leaf romaine, parmigiano-reggiano, house-made croutons, with house Caesar dressing.

A classic done right, I highly recommend trying Apizza Scholls’ version, which pairs beautifully with any one of their pizza pies. Try it with a meaty sensation such as Apizza Amore or their version of the Amatriciana. The salad dressing is creamy and rich, and a little goes a long way. For those who aren’t anchovy fans, you can ask for them on the side or to simply omit them. –JR

Salad is something with so much variety—it’s not just a side dish of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber (though that still sounds tasty; my younger self would have enjoyed some Marie Callender’s Thousand Island dressing on it, too). It’s any mix of veg, fruit, meat, fish, dairy, nuts, grains and probably other things I’m unaware of. Seriously, the options are plenty.
