Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cloves garlic, mashed and minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup olive oil
Lemon juice, for seasoning
Minced anchovy fillets, optional
1 baguette
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Romaine lettuce, for serving
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Caesar salad dressing: Combine the garlic, mustard, vinegar and two pinches of salt in a blender and mix thoroughly. Add the mayonnaise and blend together to form a thick base. In a slow stream add the olive oil through the hole in lid. Scrape the dressing with spatula into a bowl and season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. If desired, add some anchovy to the dressing to create a deeper, saltier taste.
  • For the Caesar salad croutons: Cut the baguette into cubes. Melt the butter in a skillet and add the garlic powder, paprika and pepper. Add the bread cubes and saute just until the bread cubes begin to brown. Set aside to cool.
  • Wash and dry the lettuce. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, dressing and croutons. Top with freshly grated Parmesan. Toss gently to combine well;
