Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 clove garlic
6 anchovy fillets
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 egg, optional
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
4 slices bread, cut thin
2 tablespoons butter
2 heads of romaine

Steps:

  • Mash the garlic in a large wooden salad bowl, rubbing it well around the sides. Let it stand thus for a few minutes, then scrape out and discard the garlic pulp. Put the anchovy fillets and cheese into the bowl and mash them to a smooth paste. Coddle the egg by cooking it in fast-boiling water for one minute, just enough to cut the edge of rawness. Add this to the anchovy-cheese mixture and work smooth. Blend in the oil and vinegar. Neither salt nor pepper is needed.
  • Make croutons by buttering the bread on both sides, cubing it small, and browning the croutons in the oven until crisp.
  • Wash the romaine well, dry and crisp it. Break it into the bowl, sprinkle on the croutons and toss lightly in the dressing until every leaf is coated and the dressing absorbed by the croutons.
  • For a memorable outdoor meal on a warm summer evening, serve an outsize bowl of Caesar salad with grilled steak sandwiches followed by peach shortcake.

I like to add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce to the dressing for a little extra flavor.

I didn't have any croutons, so I used crumbled bacon instead. It was a nice twist.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dressing turned out too thick. I had to add more milk to thin it out.

This salad is a bit too rich for my taste. I prefer a lighter dressing.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I use a vegan Caesar dressing recipe.

I like to add grilled chicken or shrimp to this salad for a more complete meal.

I'm not a fan of anchovies, so I omit them from the dressing. It's still delicious.

I've tried many Caesar salad recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dressing is perfectly balanced and the romaine lettuce is crisp and fresh. I also love the addition of the croutons and Parmesan cheese.

This salad was a huge hit at my last dinner party. Everyone raved about the dressing, which is so creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again and again.
