Caesar Salad-No Anchovies, No Eggs image

Ok, so without the eggs & the anchovies it might not be considered a "true" Caesar salad. But, this is still a really good Caesar-like salad and will please those picky eaters in your family who want Caesar salad, but won't go near it if you include the raw eggs and/or the anchovies. I can hear the purists groaning already, but you can also use the cheese in the "green can" in this if you don't have any fresh Parmesan lying around- it still tastes good either way, although it is best with Parmigiano-Reggiano. NOTE: There are anchovy free versions of Worcestershire Sauce commonly available.

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -2 head romaine lettuce, rinsed, dried, torn into bite sized pieces (enough to fill a large salad bowl)
1/2 lemon, juice of
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated, more to taste
1 cup crouton, to taste (purchased or homemade)
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Set lettuce into a large serving bowl.
  • Place dressing ingredients into a blender (yes all at once), put the lid on your blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Pour some of the dressing over lettuce, as much or as little as you prefer, and toss well to coat leaves with dressing; I tend to use less and have extra to save for another salad later in the week.
  • Set one clean hand over your salad bowl and squeeze the lemon half over it- letting the juice drip through your fingers, but catching the pits (discard pits).
  • Grind some black pepper over the salad to taste.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and stir to coat.
  • Taste for seasonings, adding a little more salt, pepper, or cheese if desired.
  • When the seasonings are correct, add the croutons to the top, give a quick stir, and serve immediately.
  • This does not keep well- if you need to make in advance, prepare the salad dressing alone and then toss everything together just before serving.
