Dressing

Method

Dressing Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dressing

    In a food processor, add the garlic cloves and anchovy fillets. Pulse until finely minced.

  2. 2

    Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice to the food processor. Blend until well combined.

  3. 3

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the dressing is emulsified and creamy.

  4. 4

    Season the dressing with salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend briefly to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    Wash and dry the hearts of romaine. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

  2. 6

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the brioche slices and toast them until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 7

    Once the croutons are cooled, cut them into cubes.

  4. 8

    Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over the romaine, and toss to coat the leaves evenly.

  5. 9

    Add the shaved Parmesan cheese and croutons to the salad. Toss gently to mix everything together.
