Mini Caesar Salad Bites

- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
45 mini salad cups
- Serves:
- 45
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)
directions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- Pour on caesar salad dressing and stir until all pieces are coated. Adjust dressing (adding more or less) to suit personal preference.
- Spoon salad mixture into cooled wonton cups and sprinkle with freshly grated parmasan cheese. Garnish with fresh lemon, if desired.
- Bon Appetit! :).

For presentation, this is REALLY great, TRUE!<br/>By accident I put the cheese mixed through the finely chopped lettuce too!<br/>Then drizzled the dressing, LOOKED like I really did fuss on the day!<br/>Next time might try using a pastry brush to do the whole won ton BEFORE I put it into the mini muffin mold too!<br/>As had a little difficulty getting the too large brush to coat the wrappers so they could also even bake, TRUE!<br/>But totally did not take anything away,<br/>The recipe is a keeper and in my cook books it will stay! THANKS! :)

I am making appetizers for over 100 guests for my mom's 80th birthday bash. I looked in recipezaar and found two new appetizers to try. I wanted something that had a lighter feel to it and this fit the bill perfectly. My husband found the wontons alittle too crispy but after an hour in the fridge, they had softened abit. I love this recipe!!! It tastes great and looks beautiful on a platter.

Yummy and fabulous idea! I only made 12 for Thanksgiving appies, so they went really quick. I also used round (gyoza) wonton wrappers, and made my salads dressed with ranch. Even though I changed the details of the recipe quite a bit, the idea is so versatile and wonderful I had to go ahead and rate them highly! Thanks for sharing!
