Description
A rich and traditional Caesar salad with a hand-emulsified dressing, crisp romaine, and buttery sourdough croutons.
Ingredients
1 large head Romaine lettuce, chopped
2 large Egg yolks, room temperature
6 Anchovy fillets in oil
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
2 cups Sourdough bread, torn into pieces
3 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp Black pepper, freshly cracked
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss torn sourdough with melted butter and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.
Step 2: In a large wooden bowl, mash anchovies and garlic into a smooth paste using a fork.
Step 3: Whisk in the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 4: Slowly whisk in the oils, starting with a few drops at a time to create a thick emulsion.
Step 5: Fold in half of the parmesan cheese and the black pepper.
Step 6: Add the dry romaine lettuce and toss until every leaf is thoroughly coated in the dressing.
Step 7: Add croutons and remaining cheese, toss once more, and serve the Steakhouse Style Homemade Caesar immediately.
Notes
Ensure all dressing ingredients are at room temperature for the best emulsion. Use the best quality parmesan available for the most authentic flavor.
