Authentic Caesar Salad: E-Z Version image

This is the original Caesar, from Tijuana. (That's right, Tijuana, Baja (Calif) Mexico, the same place that the Margarita came from!). I've simplified this a bit by using anchovy paste and prepared croutons, but it is the same authentic taste. Absolutely great with anything, especially a summer BBQ.

Time 12m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 garlic clove
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin if you can find one)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 egg
1/2 fresh lemon
2 heads romaine lettuce
5 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (fresh)
1 cup crouton

Steps:

  • Make the dressing with 1/2 of the garlic smashed or minced, oil, salt, mustard, pepper, Worcestershire and anchovy paste. Shake well and refrigerate one hour (or up to 4 days ahead).
  • Rug the inside of a large wooden bowl with the remaining garlic, and discard (the garlic, not the bowl).
  • Just before serving:.
  • Nuke coffee cup half full of water to boiling, carefully place egg in hot water for 1 minute.
  • Cool egg (so you can handle it). Crack egg and add to dressing mixture along with lemon juice and shake vigorously, making sure the egg yoke is mixed well.
  • Pour over romaine and toss. Add Parmesan and croutons and serve immediately.
