Caesar Salad

I used to order ceasar salads in restaurants until I realized that they cheat. They mix a salad together and then pour on prepared dressing from a bottle. If you like caesar salads, here's how to make it at home the right way.


1 garlic clove
1 T. anchovy paste or 1-2 anchovies
2 egg yolks. If you are unsure of the eggs, coddle them for 2 minutes
1 T. Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. white wine vinegar
3 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup parmegiano reggiano cheese or other good parmesan cheese
1 head Romaine lettuce cut into small pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black papper to taste


Crush garlic against side of salad bowl and rub it all over bowl. add anchovy paste or anchovies; mix with garlic. add egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt. mix well.

Add lettuce, parmesan cheese, and croutons and toss to combine.

Serve immediately and add cheese and black pepper to taste.
