Caesar salad (Home made dressing)

Bacon.................................... 5 slices
Extra 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 tsp
White vinegar...................... 1 tsp
Lemon Juice........................ 1.5 tbsp
Tabasco sauce.................... 1 tsp (less if you like)
Egg yolk (no membrane)... 1 large
White bread.......................... 1 slice
Romaine lettuce.................. 2 heads
Parmesan 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 6 servings.
