Steps:
- Add all of your ingredients to the food processor except for the olive oil. If your food processor has chop and puree options, select puree. Begin to puree your ingredients. Slowly add one tablespoon of olive oil into your food processor while it purees. Turn your food processor off, and test your dressingSlowly add another tablespoon (or more) of olive oil until you get the consistency you desire (two tablespoons gave me the perfect thick consistency I like in a Caesar salad dressing). Add more vinegar if you'd like as well.
- Store in the refrigerator in a container with a tight lid and consume within 3-4 days

CAESAR SALAD-NO ANCHOVIES, NO EGGS
Ok, so without the eggs & the anchovies it might not be considered a "true" Caesar salad. But, this is still a really good Caesar-like salad and will please those picky eaters in your family who want Caesar salad, but won't go near it if you include the raw eggs and/or the anchovies. I can hear the purists groaning already, but you can also use the cheese in the "green can" in this if you don't have any fresh Parmesan lying around- it still tastes good either way, although it is best with Parmigiano-Reggiano. NOTE: There are anchovy free versions of Worcestershire Sauce commonly available.

Steps:
- Set lettuce into a large serving bowl.
- Place dressing ingredients into a blender (yes all at once), put the lid on your blender, and blend until smooth.
- Pour some of the dressing over lettuce, as much or as little as you prefer, and toss well to coat leaves with dressing; I tend to use less and have extra to save for another salad later in the week.
- Set one clean hand over your salad bowl and squeeze the lemon half over it- letting the juice drip through your fingers, but catching the pits (discard pits).
- Grind some black pepper over the salad to taste.
- Add Parmesan cheese and stir to coat.
- Taste for seasonings, adding a little more salt, pepper, or cheese if desired.
- When the seasonings are correct, add the croutons to the top, give a quick stir, and serve immediately.
- This does not keep well- if you need to make in advance, prepare the salad dressing alone and then toss everything together just before serving.

Tips:
- To make the dressing, use a blender or food processor to combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pepper, and salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending until the dressing is thick and creamy.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can whisk the dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Just be sure to whisk vigorously until the dressing is well combined.
- For a tangier dressing, add more lemon juice. For a spicier dressing, add more pepper.
- To make the croutons, cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- If you don't have time to make croutons, you can use store-bought croutons or even just plain bread cubes.
- To assemble the salad, toss the romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad immediately.
