Today in class we made Caesar Salad. One thing our group did well was the cutting of our lettuce, we cut them small enough that people could fit into their mouths, yet big enough that people could knew what they were eating. What we didn't do so well in was that we feel like we made our croutons to big. Next time we make caesar salad what our group would change is that we need to make sure that we stay on task, meaning we should finish our work first then socialize. What we learned that is important to this recipe is that we should be gentle when we handle lettuce because they can bruise easily.
