The Caesar Roll appetizer is not related to Japanese cuisine and does not contain rice. It is a thin flatbread with a juicy filling. The composition of the treat resembles shawarma, but it turns out to be healthier and lighter.

The popularity of the snack in question began with the fast food restaurant McDonald's. It is still served in the establishment, periodically offering guests new toppings and sauces. The classic Caesar roll recipe necessarily includes some kind of meat or fish component, as well as a large number of different vegetables. A special sauce complements the entire food mix.

Correct composition of products

It is impossible to answer which composition of products for such a treat is correct. It all depends on the taste preferences of the housewife and everyone at home. Thus, the classic recipe for the dish includes chicken meat, and its variations are offered with seafood and fish.

You can also choose different vegetables to suit your taste. Fresh tomatoes, any lettuce leaves, fresh cucumbers and sweet peppers are best suited for treats.

An important ingredient of the dish is cheese. You need to choose hard or semi-hard salted varieties of such a product. You can experiment with soft cream cheese.

You can choose any thin flatbread as the basis for Caesar Roll. At home, it is most convenient to use Armenian lavash.

The calorie content of Caesar Roll depends on the ingredients of the treat. For the classic recipe it is 499 kcal per 100 g of product.

How to properly wrap a Caesar roll in pita bread

The secret to the popularity of the Caesar roll lies not only in its unforgettable taste, but also in its presentation. The ingredients are placed on a thin wheat tortilla, trying to distribute them closer to the center. The lower part is lifted, covering the filling and forming a “pocket”. Then the side edges are folded in one by one, and the top is left open. Another serving option is to make a roll, closed on all sides, and then cut it diagonally.
