Caesar Salad – Dressing, Croutons, and Garnish

Method

Dressing preparation

1

Prepare anchovy-garlic paste

Finely mince the anchovy fillets and garlic; mash together with a fork until a smooth paste forms.

2

Add yolks and lemon juice

Whisk in the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is pale and slightly thick.

3

Season dressing

Whisk in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

4

Emulsify with olive oil

Very slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly until the dressing is glossy and emulsified.

5

Finish dressing with Parmesan

Stir in grated Parmesan until fully integrated.

Crouton preparation

6

Butter-crouton preparation

Melt butter; toss bread cubes (croutons) with melted butter, a pinch of salt, and a light crack of pepper.

7

Toast croutons

Spread the butter-coated croutons on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden and crisp, about 6–8 minutes, shaking the pan halfway.

Salad assembly and finishing

In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine and pour the dressing over; toss to coat evenly.

Add croutons and grated Parmesan

Add the prepared croutons and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan; toss briefly to combine.

Top with shaved Parmesan, taste, and adjust with additional salt and pepper if needed; serve immediately.
