Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 4 slices Bread (for croutons)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes and place them on a baking tray.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Peel and mince 1 garlic clove, then sprinkle it over the bread cubes.
Bake the bread cubes for 10 minutes or until golden and crispy to make croutons. Remove and let cool.
Remove the outer leaves of the Romaine lettuce and chop the remaining leaves into bite-sized pieces. Wash and dry thoroughly, then set aside.
To make the dressing, finely mince 1 garlic clove and the anchovy fillets, then combine them in a mixing bowl.
Whisk in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Grate 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and mix it into the dressing. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
In a large salad bowl, toss the chopped Romaine lettuce with the prepared dressing until evenly coated.
Add the croutons and toss lightly to combine.
Use the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese as a garnish, sprinkling it evenly over the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Caesar Salad!
