Mini Caesar Salad Bites

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 45 wonton wrappers
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped very finely
• 3/4 cup caesar salad dressing (adjust to taste and consistency)
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• nonstick cooking spray
• lemon wedge (optional)

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 375 degrees f. spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray. melt the butter in microwavable safe dish and stir in garlic salt. set aside.
• 2 place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin. gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. the wrapper will overlap itself and stick up out of the cup. brush insides with the garlic butter and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned and crisp. (time may vary according to your oven, so keep a close eye on them) remove from the tin and allow to cool while preparing salad.
• 3 finely chop the romaine lettuce. if you have a food processor, use it. you really need a fine fine chop in order to fill the cups properly, so don't be lazy with this step!
• 4 pour on caesar salad dressing and stir until all pieces are coated. adjust dressing (adding more or less) to suit personal preference.
• 5 spoon salad mixture into cooled wonton cups and sprinkle with freshly grated parmasan cheese. garnish with fresh lemon, if desired.
• 6 bon appetit! :).
