Caesar Salad

from Homemade Caesar Salad, the Week of September 8, 2013.
View the next recipe for this meal.

A classic Caesar starts with a raw egg yolk, anchovies and fresh parmesan. The raw egg is not always the best idea for those with more delicate immune systems (pregnant/nursing moms, kids, elderly) so we replace it with acidophilus rich yogurt instead. Anchovies are technically optional, try a vegan worcestershire sauce instead. Try anchovies if you have a chance, they are omega-3 rich and give the perfect touch to the classic caesar.

For the croutons, try our homemade or gluten-free polenta croutons.

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced and smashed
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste, or vegan worcestershire
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, wash, dry and slice bite-size
  • 1 cup croutons

Serving Size: 2 People



 

Preparation Instructions

Toss the garlic and lemon juice together in the salad bowl. Sit for a few minutes to mellow the garlic a bit.

Whisk in the dijon, anchovies or worcestershire, and yogurt.

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking rapidly. Fold in the grated parmesan cheese.

Add the romaine pieces and toss to coat. Top with the croutons and an extra sprinkle of parmesan if desired.
