Caesar Salad Recipe

Introduction

  • By: Velomane
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Salad:
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
  • 1.5 cups croutons, make your own, or buy a high-quality brand
  • 3 tablespoons shredded parmesan, reggiano preferably

Dressing:
  • .5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-3 lge cloves garlic, minced (I'm a garlic nut, so I use more than this)
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg yolk
  • juice of half a lemon (~1 tbsp.)
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • .3 cup olive oil

Method

  1. Starting at the top, thouroughly whisk in each Dressing ingredient before adding the next one.
  2. When it comes to the oil, drizzle it in very slowly while whisking to ensure it emulsifies properly.
  3. Toss the lettuce with the dressing, toss again with parmesan, toss once more with croutons. Enjoy!



As with most cooking, the better, and fresher the ingredients you use, the better the final product. So, get a good quality red wine vinegar, not the nickel stuff.
Same goes for the worcestershire sauce, and most definitely the olive oil. In fact, the oil has the biggest impact on the final flavour, so experiment with different grades of oil and note the difference.
