Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 clove garlic
6 anchovy fillets
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 egg, optional
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
4 slices bread, cut thin
2 tablespoons butter
2 heads of romaine

Steps:

  • Mash the garlic in a large wooden salad bowl, rubbing it well around the sides. Let it stand thus for a few minutes, then scrape out and discard the garlic pulp. Put the anchovy fillets and cheese into the bowl and mash them to a smooth paste. Coddle the egg by cooking it in fast-boiling water for one minute, just enough to cut the edge of rawness. Add this to the anchovy-cheese mixture and work smooth. Blend in the oil and vinegar. Neither salt nor pepper is needed.
  • Make croutons by buttering the bread on both sides, cubing it small, and browning the croutons in the oven until crisp.
  • Wash the romaine well, dry and crisp it. Break it into the bowl, sprinkle on the croutons and toss lightly in the dressing until every leaf is coated and the dressing absorbed by the croutons.
  • For a memorable outdoor meal on a warm summer evening, serve an outsize bowl of Caesar salad with grilled steak sandwiches followed by peach shortcake.

I'm not a big fan of Caesar salad, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the croutons added a nice crunch.

The dressing was a bit too lemony for my taste, but the salad was still good.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The dressing was creamy and flavorful, and the romaine lettuce was crisp and fresh. I added some grilled chicken and croutons for extra protein and crunch.
