CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• You will need approximately 1 head of romaine per person, since you should use only the inner leaves (they are more tender and crisp). Wash the romaine and dry thoroughly with a salad spinner (or paper towels). The leaves should be extremely dry.
• On your cutting board puree the garlic and anchovies until you have a very fine paste.Add that paste in a glass bowl, with the mustard and the egg yolks mix well and very slowly add the olive oil to create an emulsion. When your dressing is nice and thick like the consistency of a mayonnaise add the remaining ingredients, except the romaine, croutons and the cheese. You may want to remove some of the dressing before you add the lettuce just in case you have too much dressing depending on how much romaine you have.
• Add the romaine and coat the leaves with the dressing (you may want to add ½ of it first to make sure you do not have too much dressing depending on how much romaine you have. Add the croutons and mix well. Add the cheese and mix well.
• In your processor combine egg yolks, mustard, anchovies and garlic, and blend until it is a smooth paste. With the machine running, slowly add the oil. When the consistency is like a mayonnaise, add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar, salt and pepper. Transfer dressing to a large salad bowl. You may want to add ½ of it first to make sure you do not have too much dressing depending on how much romaine you have.

• Homemade croutons may seem like a bit of work, when it seems so easy to open a package from the store, but I promise you, once you've tasted them, you will never buy another box! The great flavor and texture of homemade croutons will surprise you. So give it a go! You won't be sorry.
• Cut the bread into ½" cubes. In a large glass bowl add the olive oil and the parsley mix well and add the bread and mix well again. When croutons are well‑coated, transfer to a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden brown. Be sure to mix them around the pan every few minutes to get them golden and crisp on all sides. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet before putting them in a bowl to avoid making them getting soggy.

CAESAR'S PALACE SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing:
• Place vinegar, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, Worcestershire, hot red pepper sauce, and anchovy fillets in a blender with a lid attachment. Blend on high speed. Slowly incorporate the olive oil while blending. Add the Parmesan and pulse lightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Spread cubed bread out on a sheet pan and toast in the oven until they are crisp and an even pale brown. Place the olive oil in a small pot or saute pan over medium heat and add the crushed garlic. Allow the garlic to lightly brown, then remove the crushed cloves with a spoon. Remove the oil from the heat. Toss the croutons in the garlic oil and then in the grated Parmesan.
• Wash and dry the romaine. Break small leaves into crosswise halves or thirds. Separate large leaves from their central rib and discard the tough rib. Tear the leaves into medium sized pieces.
• In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce leaves and dressing. Add the grated Parmesan and the croutons. Finish the salad with fresh ground black pepper.

CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the classic caesar dressing: On a cutting board, chop the garlic and anchovies together to combine. Sprinkle with the salt. Use the side of a knife to chop and mash the mixture into a smooth, homogeneous paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl.
• Add the egg yolks and mustard to the bowl with the garlic anchovy paste. Whisk until the egg yolks lighten in color and become airy, about 2 minutes. While whisking continuously, drizzle in the vegetable and olive oils until the dressing is thick and emulsified. Whisk in the lemon juice; the dressing should loosen a bit but will still be thick enough to liberally coat the back of a spoon and should fall in ribbons when drizzled. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, black pepper, and salt to taste. The dressing will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a medium bowl, toss the torn bread with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Scatter across a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside.
• Assemble the salad: On a serving platter or in a large bowl, arrange half of the little gem leaves and season with a pinch of salt. Drizzle with ⅓ cup of the dressing and top with half of the Parmesan the croutons. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer, adding more dressing to taste. Season with pepper. If desired, top with the protein of your choice, such as chicken, salmon, or shrimp. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
