Authentic Caesar Salad: E-Z Version image

This is the original Caesar, from Tijuana. (That's right, Tijuana, Baja (Calif) Mexico, the same place that the Margarita came from!). I've simplified this a bit by using anchovy paste and prepared croutons, but it is the same authentic taste. Absolutely great with anything, especially a summer BBQ.

Time 12m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 garlic clove
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin if you can find one)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 egg
1/2 fresh lemon
2 heads romaine lettuce
5 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (fresh)
1 cup crouton

Steps:

  • Make the dressing with 1/2 of the garlic smashed or minced, oil, salt, mustard, pepper, Worcestershire and anchovy paste. Shake well and refrigerate one hour (or up to 4 days ahead).
  • Rug the inside of a large wooden bowl with the remaining garlic, and discard (the garlic, not the bowl).
  • Just before serving:.
  • Nuke coffee cup half full of water to boiling, carefully place egg in hot water for 1 minute.
  • Cool egg (so you can handle it). Crack egg and add to dressing mixture along with lemon juice and shake vigorously, making sure the egg yoke is mixed well.
  • Pour over romaine and toss. Add Parmesan and croutons and serve immediately.

This recipe is a waste of time. The dressing is bland and the salad is limp.

The dressing is a bit too heavy for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. I also like to add some chopped bacon or croutons for extra flavor.

I've tried many Caesar salad recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dressing is creamy and flavorful, and the salad is always crisp and fresh.
