Cooking the Brussels on the stovetop first gives them a jump-start to becoming brown and crispy without drying out. The roasted flavor of the Brussels sprouts combines with the Worcestershire sauce and Parmesan cheese in the dressing to build the savory profile that Caesar salad is known for.

  2. Flip Brussels sprouts. Transfer to the oven; roast until browned on edges and tender-crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire, pepper and 3 tablespoons Parmesan together in a large bowl until smooth. Add the Brussels sprouts, romaine and croutons; toss until evenly coated.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
