Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad image

I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use *only* mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to this salad see my recipe#125034-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my recipe#66596

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large head romaine lettuce (washed over and thoroughly dried)
1 1/2 cups garlic-flavored croutons (or to taste, see Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
parmesan cheese
freshly grated black pepper (to taste)
2 anchovy fillets (or to taste)
2 fresh garlic cloves (or to taste)
1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (Hellman's Dijonnaise is best!)
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste) (optional)
buttermilk or half-and-half, for thinning

Steps:

  • In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
  • Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
  • Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
  • Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I was disappointed with this salad. The dressing was bland, and the croutons were stale.

This salad is a bit too rich for my taste. The dressing is very heavy, and the croutons are too oily.

I'm not a huge fan of Caesar salad, but this one was actually really good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the croutons were crispy.

This salad is so fresh and flavorful. The lemon and anchovies give it a nice tangy flavor, and the Parmesan cheese adds a nice richness. I highly recommend this salad.

I was a bit skeptical about making my own Caesar dressing, but I'm so glad I did. It was so easy to make, and it tasted amazing. I'll never buy store-bought dressing again.

This is the best Caesar salad I've ever had. The dressing is perfectly balanced, and the croutons are the perfect addition. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is so good that I've even been known to use it as a dip for vegetables.

This Caesar salad is a hit! The dressing is creamy and flavorful, and the croutons are crispy and addictive. I added some grilled chicken to make it a more complete meal, and it was delicious.
