Description

These Smoky Salmon Caesar Lettuce Wraps offer a fresh and flavorful twist on a classic Caesar salad, combining tender smoked salmon with crisp romaine leaves, tangy Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and vibrant toppings. Perfect as a light meal or appetizer, they are ready in just 10 minutes and packed with texture and taste.

Ingredients

For the Wraps

  • 2 cups smoked salmon, flaked
  • 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup croutons, crushed (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Lettuce Leaves: Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a flat surface, ensuring they are clean and completely dry to provide the perfect base for the wraps.
  2. Mix Salmon with Dressing: In a medium bowl, gently combine the flaked smoked salmon with 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing, tossing carefully to coat the fish evenly without breaking it apart.
  3. Dress Lettuce Bases: Spread a small amount of Caesar dressing on each romaine leaf to add creaminess and flavor right at the base of the wraps.
  4. Assemble Salmon on Lettuce: Spoon the smoky salmon mixture evenly onto each prepared lettuce leaf, creating a vibrant and savory filling.
  5. Add Toppings: Top each wrap with halved cherry tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, grated parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons if desired, adding layers of texture and taste.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the wraps for a pop of color and fresh herbaceous notes, then serve immediately to enjoy the crisp, smoky flavors at their best.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, omit the croutons or substitute with gluten-free croutons.
  • Feel free to add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright citrus kick.
  • Use fresh romaine leaves that are large and sturdy to hold the ingredients without tearing.
  • These wraps are best served immediately to maintain crispness.
  • Adjust the amount of Caesar dressing according to your preference for creaminess.
