Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 eggs, coddled (if desired) then separated and yolks reserved (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 boneless anchovy fillets, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup olive oil, canola oil or equivalent light salad oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 French baguette
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 large heads romaine lettuce
1/3 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the Caesar dressing: Beat the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy and garlic and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready for use.
  • For the croutons: Cut the baguette on an angle to create thin, oval slices about 1/4-inch thick. On a large baking sheet, arrange the slices evenly. Brush the bread with olive oil and top with the Parmesan and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until the Parmesan is melted and the croutons are golden brown around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
  • For the salad: Core the romaine and trim the top 1/2 inch off the leaves. Fan the leaves out on a serving plate (or chop into 1/2-inch pieces if you prefer). Sprinkle the Parmesan over the lettuce and drizzle the dressing on top. Top with 2 to 3 croutons per plate and serve.

CAESAR SALAD (THE ORIGINAL)



Caesar Salad (The Original) image

This is from Margaret Fultons revised 1968 cookbook (a Christmas present from the DD - my original is rather dog eared and stained) in which she states "This is the authentic recipe made for me by the Cardini family in Mexico, the creataors of the caesar salad. Particular care was taken to lay the tender, elongated cos leaves all in the one direction." Times are estimated.

CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic Caesar Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Caesar salad is a classic, and we think our recipe embodies everything you love about the dish-it's tangy, creamy, crunchy, and garlicky. Drizzle little gem lettuce with homemade and hand-whisked Caesar dressing and top with torn-bread croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve with your choice of protein, if desired, but we think it's pretty perfect as is.

Categories     Lunch

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
6 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained and roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 large pastured egg yollks
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups bread, torn into 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
10 oz little gem lettuce, leaves separated or torn
kosher salt, to taste
½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for topping
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 oz grilled chicken breast, sliced into ¼-inch (6 mm) pieces
8 oz grilled salmon, broken into 1 in (2.54 cm)
½ lb grilled shrimp

Steps:

  • Make the classic caesar dressing: On a cutting board, chop the garlic and anchovies together to combine. Sprinkle with the salt. Use the side of a knife to chop and mash the mixture into a smooth, homogeneous paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl.
  • Add the egg yolks and mustard to the bowl with the garlic anchovy paste. Whisk until the egg yolks lighten in color and become airy, about 2 minutes. While whisking continuously, drizzle in the vegetable and olive oils until the dressing is thick and emulsified. Whisk in the lemon juice; the dressing should loosen a bit but will still be thick enough to liberally coat the back of a spoon and should fall in ribbons when drizzled. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, black pepper, and salt to taste. The dressing will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a medium bowl, toss the torn bread with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Scatter across a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside.
  • Assemble the salad: On a serving platter or in a large bowl, arrange half of the little gem leaves and season with a pinch of salt. Drizzle with ⅓ cup of the dressing and top with half of the Parmesan the croutons. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer, adding more dressing to taste. Season with pepper. If desired, top with the protein of your choice, such as chicken, salmon, or shrimp. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Caesar salad. Use fresh romaine lettuce, crisp croutons, and a creamy, flavorful Caesar dressing.
  • Make Your Own Croutons: Homemade croutons are a great way to add extra flavor and texture to your salad. Simply cube some bread, toss it with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt, and bake until golden brown.
  • Grate Your Own Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese has a much more intense flavor than pre-grated cheese. It will also melt more evenly over your salad.
  • Don't Overdress Your Salad: A little Caesar dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in your salad.
  • Serve Your Salad Immediately: Caesar salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you make it ahead of time, the dressing will start to wilt the lettuce.

Conclusion:

Caesar salad is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With its creamy, flavorful dressing, crispy croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese, it's a salad that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or a main course, Caesar salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give Caesar salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
