Method
Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Romaine Lettuce
Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Dressing Preparation

Make the Caesar Dressing
In a mixing bowl, mash the garlic cloves and anchovy fillets with a fork until they form a paste. Add the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
