Serving a classic Caesar salad as whole leaves keeps everything crunchy and having to eat it with a knife and fork, aside from lending an elegant touch, slows you down so you can savor this rich salad. Pepitas bring a nutty crunch as well as the roughly torn croutons that are easier to pick up with a fork than regular cubes.
