Caesar Salad

A rich, creamy garlic-lemon parmesan dressing is the perfect addition to this Caesar salad recipe!

Ingredients :

  • 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup croutons
  • ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 10 small capers
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 2 anchovy filets or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup light olive oil or canola oil
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions :

  • Combine garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, capers, egg, anchovy fillets, and pepper in a blender.
  • Blend until smooth. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in olive oil in a thin, slow stream (this should take a few minutes).
  • Add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and pulse to combine. Taste and season with salt and additional pepper if desired. Refrigerate until using, up to 3 days.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, croutons, and ⅓ cup parmesan cheese. Add dressing as desired and toss to combine.
  • Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh lemon wedges for serving.
