No need to go to a restaurant to make a great Caesar salad right in your own kitchen!
The dressing is easily whipped up in a blender ahead of time while you toast up some croutons and cut your veggies
Measure out 2 tablespoons of mayo, 1 tablespoon each of sour cream and lemon juice, 1 teaspoon each of kosher salt, Dijon mustard and black pepper
I shredded 1/4 cup of fresh Parmesan, but you can use pre-shredded Parmesan if you’d like. You’ll also need 1/3 of a cup of olive oil, 1-2 garlic cloves and 4-6 anchovies. We LOVE anchovies so I always use 6 🙂
Note – I chose not to use raw egg yolks in the dressing so it would have a longer fridge life and so that everyone in my family could eat it. The taste is the same, but the dressing needs to be shaken right before use because the egg acts as a natural emulsifier
Put all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a small blender and whirl until completely blended
Drizzle the olive oil in while blending so it mixes evenly. Such a smooth and delicious dressing!
Now let’s make some toasty croutons. You can buy a bag of croutons but this is so easy to do in your own kitchen and they will love you for it!
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large bowl and add in 4 cups of cubed baguette
Toss to coat the bread cubes with the butter and sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder
Preheat a pan over medium heat and toast the bread cubes in a single layer
Toss them around in the pan to ensure they are evenly toasted. This should only take a few minutes
I like to put all of the ingredients out and let everyone assemble their own salad
Chopped romaine lettuce, sliced fresh Parmesan, grape tomatoes, croutons, anchovies and the Caesar dressing
Enjoy!
