1 head romaine lettuce, chopped or slivered lengthwise

1 pint strawberries, hulled and halved 

3 green onions, chopped 

Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

Layer of Romain, strawberries, green onions, and Parmesan cheese in a salad bowl or platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with strawberry Caesar salad dressing.

Strawberry Caesar Salad Dressing:

1 Tablespoon strawberry jam, optional 

Add egg, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy, salt, pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice to a blender. Blend until emulsified, then very slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
