CHEF GERARD'S AWARD WINNING CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Chef Gerard's Award Winning Caesar Salad Dressing image

Recipe from my dad, Chef Gerard (now deceased). He trained in France and Germany. He developed this recipe as assistant chef at Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC many years ago. He later used this at Blackstone Hotel in Kansas City, Drake Hotel in Chicago, and when he was Executive Chef at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City (where he was featured in Gourmet Magazine). This recipe won countless awards and was in national cooking magazines. Not as easy as other Caesar dressing recipes, but worth the effort! I guarantee it! Julia Child has a great Caesar dressing recipe, but this recipe beat hers in one contest. Chef Gerard suggested letting this dressing stay in the refrigerator for 2 days for better flavor. Optional, but suggested.

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS & CREAMY DIJON DRESSING - ONCE UPON A CHEF



Asparagus Salad with Hard-Boiled Eggs & Creamy Dijon Dressing - Once Upon a Chef image

TESTED & PERFECTED RECIPE- This salad of crisp asparagus spears, chopped hard boiled eggs and a creamy Dijon sauce is a nice departure from leafy greens.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggs
2 bunches thick asparagus spears, bottom ends trimmed
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, for garnish
1/2 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's or Duke's
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Pinch salt
A few grinds freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Heat over high heat until the water comes to a rapid boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a lid and let stand for 14 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to chill. Peel and chop the eggs and set aside.
  • Bring 6 cups water and 4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a large shallow pot. Add the asparagus and cook 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. While the asparagus is cooking, fill a large bowl with ice and water. Transfer the cooked asparagus to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the bright green color. When cool, remove the asparagus from the ice bath and set on a clean dish towel to dry.
  • For the sauce, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • To serve, arrange the asparagus spears on individual plates or a platter and spoon the sauce generously over the middle of the spears. Sprinkle the chopped eggs and chives over the sauce.
  • Note: The nutritional information is calculated with the assumption that between the salted water the asparagus is cooked in and the added pinch of salt, there is approximately 1/2 tsp. added salt in the recipe.
