Classic Caesar Salad image

This recipe is the classic original Caesar Salad with the dressing made from scratch. It has that bite that the best Caesar Salad dressings are supposed to have. This dressing will wow your guests and have them asking you where you bought it. I learned and refined this recipe while in culinary school. It is very important that you use fresh ingredients that have not been pre-processed (ie. lemon not bottle of lemon juice, block of parmesan cheese not parmesan cheese already grated in a container, etc.).

I used a mix of romaine and butterhead lettuce for this salad. It was a great combination.

I'm not a fan of anchovies, so I omitted them from the dressing. The salad was still delicious.

This Caesar salad recipe is a keeper! The dressing is creamy and flavorful, and the croutons add a nice crunch. I also love that you can use any type of lettuce you like. I used romaine, but I bet it would be just as good with butterhead or arugula.
