Caesar Dressing

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the Romaine lettuce under cold running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    Grate the Parmesan cheese using a cheese grater and sprinkle it evenly over the torn Romaine lettuce.

  3. 3

    Add Croutons

    Add the croutons on top of the lettuce and cheese mixture.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

  2. 5

    Combine Salad and Dressing

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Salad

    Serve the Caesar salad immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and croutons if desired.
