CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD



Classic Caesar Salad image

There's a reason clichés like Caesar salad and iceberg with blue cheese dressing have become hyper-common: they're just good. The combination of cold crunchiness, mild bitterness and salty dressings is everlastingly refreshing and satisfying. This authentic version (get out those anchovies and eggs) from Mark Bittman does not disappoint.

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

About 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup rustic bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, halved
2 eggs
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons minced anchovies, or to taste
Dash Worcestershire sauce
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed, dried and torn into pieces
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the bread in a single layer and turn heat to medium. When oil shimmers, add bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper; brown lightly on all sides, adding a little more oil if necessary. Remove and set aside.
  • Rub the inside of a salad bowl with the garlic clove; discard it. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Pierce a tiny hole in the broad end of each egg with a pin or needle and boil them for 60 to 90 seconds; they will just begin to firm up. Crack them into the salad bowl, being sure to scoop out the white that clings to the shell.
  • Beat eggs with a fork. Gradually add lemon juice and 6 tablespoons oil, beating all the while. Stir in anchovies and Worcestershire. Taste and add salt if needed, and lots of pepper. Toss well with lettuce; top with Parmesan and croutons; toss again at table. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your Caesar salad dressing the best flavor. If possible, use organic eggs, fresh lemons, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Make sure your anchovies are good quality: The anchovies are what give Caesar salad dressing its unique flavor, so it's important to use good quality anchovies. Look for anchovies that are packed in olive oil and have a firm texture.
  • Don't over-process the dressing: Caesar salad dressing is best when it's made fresh and not over-processed. Over-processing can make the dressing too thick and creamy.
  • Taste the dressing as you go: Caesar salad dressing is a personal preference, so taste it as you go and adjust the ingredients to your liking. If you like a more garlicky dressing, add more garlic. If you like a more lemony dressing, add more lemon juice.
  • Use the dressing immediately or store it properly: Caesar salad dressing is best when it's used immediately. However, if you need to store it, keep it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Caesar salad dressing is a classic dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious Caesar salad dressing that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're making a salad, give Ingrid's Caesar Salad Dressing a try.
