Classic Caesar Salad
The anchovy paste used in this recipe is naturally briny, so add additional salt sparingly. Prepare the dressing before serving to allow flavors to combine for the best results.
Ingredients
- Dressing Ingredients:
- ½ c. mayonnaise
- ½ c. Greek yogurt
- ½ T. fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 t. Dijon mustard
- 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 t. anchovy paste
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ c. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- ¼ c. light olive oil
- Crouton Ingredients:
- 1 T. unsalted butter
- 4 slices French or Italian bread, cubed
- ½ t. garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Salad Ingredients:
- 1 large head of Romain lettuce, cleaned, chopped, and dried completely
- ½ c. shaved Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing in a medium-sized bowl, mixing the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovy paste.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the dressing and whisk until thoroughly incorporated into the mixture. Taste and season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Cover and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Spread the melted butter with a pastry brush to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet evenly.
- Add the bread cubes to the skillet and lightly season with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toast the bread, stirring frequently, until lightly browned on all sides, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- When ready to serve, assemble the salad by adding the chopped Romaine lettuce to a large mixing bowl. Add the toasted croutons, shaved Parmesan, and drizzle with ⅓ cup of dressing. Gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately on chilled salad plates with the remaining salad dressing on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
For best results, allow the bread to set out uncovered overnight. Also, use a small amount of butter while toasting to avoid overly greasy results.
