Method

Dressing Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a bit more lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the dressing and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Salad Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, then dry it using a salad spinner or paper towels. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the torn romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and croutons.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the chilled Caesar dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

  4. 7

    Add Anchovies (Optional)

    If using, add the white anchovies on top of the salad for an extra layer of flavor.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the salad is fresh and crisp.
