Ingredients
Bacon.................................... 5 slicesExtra virgin olive oil............ 4 tbsp (1/4 cup)Garlic cloves........................ 2 (more if you like)Dijon Mustard...................... 2 tsp (or 1/4 tsp dry)Worcestershire sauce........ 2 tspWhite vinegar...................... 1 tspLemon Juice........................ 1.5 tbspTabasco sauce.................... 1 tsp (less if you like)Egg yolk (no membrane)... 1 largeWhite bread.......................... 1 sliceRomaine lettuce.................. 2 headsParmesan cheese............... 6 tbsp (1 per serving)
Cut bread into 3/8 inch cubes and toast till crisp. Toaster oven, or regular oven. Even toast it then slice it (a little messier but still gives you croutons...)
Slice the bacon into 1/4 inch strips, start to cook them (crispy) while you prepare the rest of the salad.
After they are cooked, press them between paper towels to soak up the grease (don't burn yourself). Set them aside to cool...
While the bacon is crisping, break up the romaine lettuce and wash it, drain well (I use a salad spinner)
to dry. Chop up garlic cloves (finer is better).
In a small mixing bowl (if you have a Bullet mixer or small food processor or hand held chopper use it!)
Put olive oil, chopped garlic, mustard, worcestershire, vinegar, lemon juice, tabasco and egg yolk.
Mix these together until they come together to a mayonnaise consistency.
Put leaves in a large bowl, add bacon, and dressing toss until well coated, add croutons and serve. Top with 1 tbsp of parmesan cheese and enjoy!
Makes 8 servings.

We use this exact recipe minus the vinegar, and always have. My family is so famous for it in town that people call and ask us to make it for them when they have company!
I mix it by hand, slowly. Egg yolk first, then everything but the oil, then oil very very slowly and en with lemon juice! Yum - 3/16/11

I left out the bacon and served the salad with grilled chicken breast. This dressing tastes just like the caesar dressing from the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio, whose chef is an Iron Chef competitor!!! AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!! Will make this weekly and make the dressing to store for side salads. - 2/21/10
