Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any damaged or wilted leaves. Dry the leaves using a salad spinner or pat them gently with a clean kitchen towel. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Add Croutons

    In a large salad bowl, add the chopped Romaine lettuce. Sprinkle the croutons on top of the lettuce.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped anchovy fillets, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Olive Oil

    Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while whisking continuously until the dressing emulsifies and thickens.

  3. 5

    Season the Dressing

    Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the dressing. Whisk again until all ingredients are fully combined.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Pour the Caesar dressing over the prepared salad. Toss gently to coat the lettuce and croutons evenly with the dressing.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
