Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved or grated)
- 2 cups Crusty bread (e.g. sourdough or baguette)
- 5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 Anchovy fillets (optional)
- 2 Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the crusty bread into 1-inch cubes to make croutons.
Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
In a small skillet on medium heat, sautée the minced garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Set aside to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the anchovy fillets (if using) into a paste with a fork. Add the sautéd garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil (about 2 tablespoons), whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing. Continue whisking until the dressing has a smooth and creamy consistency.
Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and gently toss to coat. Add the cooled croutons and half the Parmesan cheese, tossing again lightly.
Transfer the salad to serving plates and garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and additional freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Salad a La York!
