Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026

Flavour: Many loved the combination of flavours, especially the bacon bits and pine nuts, which added depth to the salad.
Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, though some found the prep time longer than stated, particularly for washing and chopping lettuce.
Suggestions: Consider baking croutons in the oven for a crunchier texture; add boiled eggs for a more traditional Caesar salad experience.
Portions: Several customers mentioned wanting more lettuce and tomatoes to balance the dish.
