CLASSIC RESTAURANT CAESAR SALAD



Classic Restaurant Caesar Salad image

I used to work at a very fancy restaurant while I was in college. The best part of the job was making table side salads, entrees, and dessert. This was the best Caesar salad I have ever had! If having trouble getting the anchovy to mash, add a couple of croutons. They provide sort of an anti-skid surface, and the hard edges of the croutons cut into the anchovy.

CAESAR SALAD

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups loosely torn country bread (about 3/4-inch pieces)
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 white anchovies
1 egg yolk
1 1/4 cups canola oil
30 large leaves from the hearts of romaine lettuce, left whole
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
Small block Pecorino Romano cheese
18 white anchovies, optional

Steps:

  • For the croutons: Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in saute or frying pan. Once it is hot but not smoking, add the bread pieces and stir until the bread has been evenly toasted and is golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Place the croutons in a bowl with a lining of paper towel to drain the oil. Immediately toss the cheese into the croutons, followed by the parsley. Store at room temperature.
  • For the dressing: Combine the cheese, roasted garlic, vinegar, mustard, anchovies and egg yolk in a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste has been formed. If necessary, add 2 tablespoons water to ensure it is a smooth paste, and not clumpy. With the machine running, emulsify the oil into the paste in a steady stream. Add more water or vinegar as necessary, depending on how loose or acidic you prefer the dressing.
  • To finish the salad: Place the lettuce leaves onto a serving platter and drizzle the dressing on top. Season with salt and pepper. Using a peeler, shave large pieces of the Pecorino cheese over the lettuces, followed by the croutons and anchovies if using.

CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD



Classic Caesar Salad image

There's a reason clichés like Caesar salad and iceberg with blue cheese dressing have become hyper-common: they're just good. The combination of cold crunchiness, mild bitterness and salty dressings is everlastingly refreshing and satisfying. This authentic version (get out those anchovies and eggs) from Mark Bittman does not disappoint.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

About 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup rustic bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, halved
2 eggs
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons minced anchovies, or to taste
Dash Worcestershire sauce
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed, dried and torn into pieces
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the bread in a single layer and turn heat to medium. When oil shimmers, add bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper; brown lightly on all sides, adding a little more oil if necessary. Remove and set aside.
  • Rub the inside of a salad bowl with the garlic clove; discard it. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Pierce a tiny hole in the broad end of each egg with a pin or needle and boil them for 60 to 90 seconds; they will just begin to firm up. Crack them into the salad bowl, being sure to scoop out the white that clings to the shell.
  • Beat eggs with a fork. Gradually add lemon juice and 6 tablespoons oil, beating all the while. Stir in anchovies and Worcestershire. Taste and add salt if needed, and lots of pepper. Toss well with lettuce; top with Parmesan and croutons; toss again at table. Serve immediately.

TABLESIDE MADE CAESAR SALAD



Tableside Made Caesar Salad image

I used to work in a restaurant where the Maitre' Ds prepared the Caesar Salad tableside. After watching many times, I experimented at home. I never really had measurements so my mother watched me once and sort of came up with this recipe that she kept in her cookbook. Might have to adjust measurements to fit your taste. Also, if you can't stomach anchovies like I can't see my note in the directions about anchovy paste.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large garlic cloves
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large uncooked egg yolk, room temperature
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup romano cheese
3 -4 romaine lettuce hearts (figure 1 heart per person)
garlic-flavored croutons

Steps:

  • Crack egg and preserve yolk in small dish. Wash and tear romaine into bite size pieces and refrigerate while preparing rest of dressing.
  • In large salad bowl (wooden is best), mash garlic into minced size pieces with fork (can cut up a bit first to make easier to mash). Rub garlic all around bowl to expel oils. Add anchovy filets or anchovy paste (found near canned seafood-looks like toothpaste tube). I just squeeze in about 1/2-1 teaspoon. Mash into garlic to form a paste.
  • Add in egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard. Whisk with fork. Add olive oil in a slow steady stream whisking constantly until blended. At this point taste dressing to adjust tastes. You can add more lemon, Worcestershire, dry mustard, and/or olive oil. Don't worry if dressing seems too greasy, you can cut that with the parmesan/romano cheese.
  • Add romaine to dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle in cheese and toss lightly. Refigerate until ready to serve. This will allow the romaine to blend with dressing. Top with croutons and serve.
  • Can also top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon to make a meal.

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.

Provided by Betsy Carter

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

- For a creamier dressing, use anchovy paste instead of fillets. - To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk together all of the ingredients except the oil and store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When ready to use, whisk in the oil until emulsified. - If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a small bowl and the back of a spoon to crush the garlic and anchovies. - Use a good quality olive oil for the dressing. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. - Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, as the dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long. - If you're making the salad for a crowd, you can double or triple the recipe. Just be sure to use a large enough bowl to accommodate all of the ingredients. - To make a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the anchovies and Parmesan cheese. You can also add grilled or roasted vegetables, such as asparagus, broccoli, or zucchini.
