Warm Potato Caesar Salad

I make this so often in the Spring and Summer, I can't believe I haven't shared this yet.  I should slap myself. My 5 year old thinks this is the cats meow and eats it like it's nobody's business. This salad never ever disappoints and I don't know anyone who doesn't like it...unless you hate Caesar and that's your crazy problem.
I like to make this at least 30 minutes before serving allowing the warm baby potatoes to absorb all that garlicky deliciousness.  I simply toss it, foil it and let it rest.  It's not supposed to be hot, but warm.
Now, the kicker.....use whatever Caesar dressing floats your boat.  I've used homemade http://delishdishcooks.blogspot.ca/2013/06/caesar-dresssing.html, semi-homemade (Epicure Selections) and  good quality store bought, in that case I use only Renee's Mighty Caesar.  Pick your poison and have at it.  Seriously, this is too easy and yummy not to make.




Holy Moly!  So pretty I had to use 2 pictures!!





Warm Potato Caesar Salad

Serves 6, as a side

1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes
6 slices of bacon or 2 - 1/2 inch slices of Pancetta diced, cooked until just crisp
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 to 3/4 cup Caesar Dressing, your choice

Boil or steam the baby potatoes until just tender.  Don't overcook. Once cooked, cut them in half, place them in a bowl with 3/4 of the bacon and green onions and all of the dressing.  Toss to coat and cover with foil for about 30 minutes.  Garnish with the rest of the bacon and green onion.
