CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 to 5 anchovies packed in oil, drained
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/3 baguette, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Soak the anchovies in a bowl of water, 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry, then finely chop and mash to form a paste; set aside.
  • Make the croutons: Combine the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, swirling the pan occasionally, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium bowl. Add the bread cubes and parsley and toss; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes; let cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the egg into the water, then immediately remove the pan from the heat and let stand 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the egg under cold water; crack into a large bowl. Whisk in the anchovy paste, the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and mustard powder until smooth. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the lettuce, croutons and about one-third of the Parmesan to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss. Divide among plates and top with the remaining Parmesan.

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.

BBQ HAM CAESAR SALAD



BBQ Ham Caesar Salad image

This is a great easy recipe for when you have all that left over ham at Christmas. The original recipe calls anchovies, but unfortunately our family does not like them, and so I use dried bacon bits. I also use garlic croutons when available.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Crisp romaine lettuce, salty Parmesan cheese, and tangy Caesar dressing are essential.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the salad.
  • If you don't have any leftover ham, you can use cooked bacon or grilled chicken instead.

  • Be sure to taste the dressing before adding it to the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, so the lettuce doesn't wilt.

This ham caesar salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
