The Get Real Caesar

Introducing the Get Real Butter Bean & Cucumber Caesar, with a tasty Dr. Will’s twist! Our quick and easy cheat’s Caesar dressing uses Dr. Will’s all-natural Olive Oil Mayo for that perfect creamy, tangy kick. Toss it with crunchy romaine lettuce, crisp cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, and our fibre-boosting butter bean croutons. Instead of traditional bread croutons, we’re using butter beans, they’re roasted with a garlicky, cheesy topping until golden and crispy, bringing texture, flavour, and a hit of fibre to every bite. It’s the easy, feel-good way to upgrade your salad game with all-natural ingredients that are better for you. The salad works well as a standalone lunch or dinner and also as a versatile BBQ side for easy summer entertaining. If you’d like to add a meat option we recommend adding shredded chicken, you could also add some crispy bacon and even an egg on top.

400g butter beans, drained
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic granules
80g grated Parmesan
Juice of 1 - 2 lemons
5 tbsp Dr. Will’s Olive Oil Mayo

8. In a large bowl, mix together the romaine lettuce and toss with half the Caesar dressing.
9. Add the cucumber, spring onions, cherry tomatoes and sweetcorn.
