Ingredients

Caesar Salad

3 heads Romain lettuce hearts chopped
2 cups Croutons
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Homemade Caesar Dressing

1 cup Mayonnaise
1 large Egg yolk
6 cloves Roasted garlic
3 tsps Anchovy paste
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Combine roasted garlic (6 cloves) with anchovy paste (3 tsp) and mash together to make an anchovy garlic paste.
In a bowl combine mayonnaise (1 cup), pasture raised egg yolk (1), Parmesan cheese (2 tbsp), anchovy garlic clove paste, Worcestershire sauce (1 teaspoon), Dijon mustard (1 tsp), lemon juice (1 tbsp) salt (¼ tsp) and freshly cracked back pepper (¼ tsp). Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the lettuce.
Separate, wash and dry romaine hearts (3 heads), then split each leaf down the middle and cut the romaine leaves into 1 inch pieces. Place the romaine in a large bowl and add Caesar dressing (½ cup), Parmesan cheese (2tbsp) and croutons (1 cup).
Toss the salad so that all the romaine salad pieces are coated nicely. Present each salad by garnishing the salad with more Parmesan, croutons and freshly cracked pepper.

Notes

If you noticed, we used mayonnaise in this recipe for Caesar dressing as an easy recipe shortcut. By adding in 1 egg yolk to the dressing recipe, we can bring an authentic rich taste to the dressing that matches the flavor of a scratch Caesar dressing.

Consumption of any raw egg should be carefully considered. This recipe can be made without the raw egg.
