Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 medium garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce*, to taste
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/3 cup (1 ounce) finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon water
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon, and Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Stir in the Parmesan, followed by the water. Season generously with black pepper, to taste. I usually think the dressing tastes just right, but if you'd prefer a more bold dressing, add another 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or for more zippy dressing, add up to 1 teaspoon additional lemon juice. Serve as desired.

CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic Caesar Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Caesar salad is a classic, and we think our recipe embodies everything you love about the dish-it's tangy, creamy, crunchy, and garlicky. Drizzle little gem lettuce with homemade and hand-whisked Caesar dressing and top with torn-bread croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve with your choice of protein, if desired, but we think it's pretty perfect as is.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
6 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained and roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 large pastured egg yollks
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups bread, torn into 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
10 oz little gem lettuce, leaves separated or torn
kosher salt, to taste
½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for topping
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 oz grilled chicken breast, sliced into ¼-inch (6 mm) pieces
8 oz grilled salmon, broken into 1 in (2.54 cm)
½ lb grilled shrimp

Steps:

  • Make the classic caesar dressing: On a cutting board, chop the garlic and anchovies together to combine. Sprinkle with the salt. Use the side of a knife to chop and mash the mixture into a smooth, homogeneous paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl.
  • Add the egg yolks and mustard to the bowl with the garlic anchovy paste. Whisk until the egg yolks lighten in color and become airy, about 2 minutes. While whisking continuously, drizzle in the vegetable and olive oils until the dressing is thick and emulsified. Whisk in the lemon juice; the dressing should loosen a bit but will still be thick enough to liberally coat the back of a spoon and should fall in ribbons when drizzled. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, black pepper, and salt to taste. The dressing will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a medium bowl, toss the torn bread with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Scatter across a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside.
  • Assemble the salad: On a serving platter or in a large bowl, arrange half of the little gem leaves and season with a pinch of salt. Drizzle with ⅓ cup of the dressing and top with half of the Parmesan the croutons. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer, adding more dressing to taste. Season with pepper. If desired, top with the protein of your choice, such as chicken, salmon, or shrimp. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Appetizers

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 small russet potatoes, preferably the same size and shape
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons dijon mustard
1 ½ tablespoons garlic paste
1 ½ tablespoons anchovy paste
2 oz grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs, plus 2 teaspoons
16 leaves romaine lettuce, ribs removed, thinly sliced into ribbons
2 lemons, sliced into 8 wedges each, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, 40-50 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the potato flesh and save for another use or discard, leaving a ⅛-inch-thick shell of potato and skin on all sides. Return the potato shells to the baking sheet. Turn the broiler on high.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, mustard, garlic paste, and anchovy paste until smooth.
  • Brush some of the dressing over the insides of the potato shells. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese and ½ teaspoon bread crumbs.
  • Broil the potato skins until the outsides are crisp and the cheese is browned, 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the lettuce to the bowl with the remaining dressing and toss to coat well.
  • Transfer the hot potato skins to a serving platter. Divide the lettuce among the potato skins. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
  • Enjoy!
