Introduction

Homemade Caesar salad, better than most restaurants! Homemade Caesar salad, better than most restaurants!
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 hearts of Romaine, washed, dried and chopped to bite size pieces
    1 egg
    juice of 1/2 lemon
    1 t Worcestershire sauce
    1 t anchovy paste
    1 t dijon mustard
    1/3 c olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, smashed
    Pepper, to taste
    2 oz Parmesan cheese, freshly shaved

Directions

Makes one salad large enough to feed 8 as a salad course, 4-6 as an entree.

Smash garlic with the side of a knife.

This is best made in a wooden bowl. Run the smashed garlic along the inside of the bowl to cover (oddly, it makes a difference).

Chop the garlic and add to the bowl. Add the egg, anchovy paste (use the anchovy paste in a tube -- it works great, no mess, and reseals to save leftovers), mustard, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to the bowl. Use the back of a dinner fork to stir together until very well combined.

Stirring rapidly with the fork to create a whisking effect, slowly add the oil so that it emulsifies.

Add the lettuce and toss to coat.

Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan atop and serve.
