Classic Homemade Caesar Salad
Can anything this delicious be so easy to prepare? The answer is YES! Make your own Caesar salads at home and I guarantee they will be better than any restaurant salad. Save yourself a bundle of money and impress your family and friends.
Servings: 6 main dish salads
Ingredients
- 1 anchovy filet minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese Reggiano Parmesano is best
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Romaine lettuce torn into bite size pieces
- extra Parmesan cheese for serving
- Croutons for serving
Instructions
- Using a mortar and pestle mash the garlic and anchovy into a paste. Alternately, place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and mash with a meat mallet/hammer. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Nothing is better than fresh lemon juice so squeeze away!
- Whisk together the lemon juice with the garlic, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.
- Whisk in the mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
- Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Place your torn Romaine ( however much you need ) in a bowl and add just enough dressing to coat. Be careful not to over dress. The downfall of many Caesar salads is adding way too much salad dressing. You can always add more but you can't take any away.
- Top with additional shredded Parmesan and Croutons. Serve as a delicious side salad or add grilled chicken for a complete meal.
