Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cups Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 4 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 small Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
To prepare the croutons, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch cubes.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add 1 minced garlic clove. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and toss the bread cubes in the garlic butter.
Spread the bread cubes onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, anchovy fillets, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and egg yolks in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and emulsified.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, then stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
In a large salad bowl, toss the prepared romaine lettuce with the homemade dressing, ensuring every piece is coated.
Top the salad with the garlic croutons and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Salad Supreme!
