Recipe Summary Almost Authentic Caesar Salad
I always hated gloppy Caesar dressings, so I came up with my own, which is very similar to the original one created in Tijuana in the 1920s. This quick and easy salad is a huge hit whenever I serve it, and it easy to prepare ahead of time. Just wait until the last minute to combine the lettuce, croutons, dressing, and cheese. The key is to use real grated Parmesan cheese, not the stuff in the can.Ingredients | Kewpie Caesar Salad Dressing Nutrition Facts3 thick slices French bread, cut into cubes2 tablespoons butter1 clove garlic, mincedsalt and ground black pepper to taste1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley½ lemon, juiced1 tablespoon Dijon mustard1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt1 ½ teaspoons anchovy paste1 clove garlic, mincedfresh ground black pepper to taste⅓ cup canola oil1 head romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheeseDirectionsPreheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Arrange French bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet with a rim.
