CREAMY CAESAR SALAD



Creamy Caesar Salad image

I adapted this from a recipe I found online. My family loves zippy, garlicky Caesar dressing and this fits the bill. I use fresh raw egg and have never had a problem. It's best to make the dressing ahead of time and let it meld if you have the time. Excellent with grilled chicken pieces added too. Enjoy!

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2-1 tablespoon anchovy paste or 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 -4 garlic cloves (see note)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 head romaine lettuce, washed, dryed and torn into 1-inch, pieces
1 cup crouton
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
lemon slice

Steps:

  • Place the first 9 ingredients in a blender, blend on high for 1 minute, taste and adjust as needed.
  • Put the lettuce in a large bowl with the croutons and parmesan cheese.
  • Pour most of the dressing over the salad and gently toss, add extra dressing if needed.
  • Serve with lemon slices on the side.
  • If making a smaller salad extra dressing will last for more than a week in the frig.
  • Note.
  • Since posting this several people have said it needed more garlic - garlic can vary in intensity - so start with 2 cloves, blend, then taste to see if it needs more. I've love strong garlic and this recipe usually has a bit of a bit.
