Hi!
I'm Miranda with recipe.com and today I'm gonna show you how to make a Caesar Salad.
Now, the Caesar Salad is just the ultimate classic of the salads and it includes ingredients
like romaine-- like I have here, Parmesan, and garlic, and it's just such a super tasty
crowd pleaser.
So, I have our ingredients all laid out here.
So, we have 2 cups of purchased garlic Parmesan croutons, 1/4 cup of shredded fresh Parmesan,
3 anchovy fillets, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin
olive oil, 3 cloves of peeled garlic, 1 cooked egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2
teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, another garlic clove which has been halve, and then
just a dash of freshly ground pepper.
We also have 10 cups of washed, freshly torn romaine here and we are going to start by
making our Caesar dressing.
So, I have a blender over here.
You're gonna need a blender or a food processor and we're just going to start by putting in
the anchovy fillets, the lemon juice, and the 3 whole cloves of garlic.
Okay, so let's just pop the lid on and we're just gonna blend this until just kind of like
it gets nice and smooth together.
Okay, perfect.
So, that's just nice and mixed up.
We're gonna keep going.
All sorts of goodness.
Okay, let's add in the olive oil, the yolk; add in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce.
Okay, now, we're gonna blend this until smooth and if we need to scrape down the egg yolk
as we're going, we'll do that but let's just take a look and see how we do.
Okay, so now this is all smooth.
We're actually going to cover it with Saran Wrap and let it chill for 2 hours.
It's best if you can let it chill for 24 but if you don't have time, 2 will do just fine.
So, we'll be right back.
Okay, so it's been 2 hours and my dressing has chilled over here, so we've got it sitting
right here.
So, now we're ready to assemble the salad.
So, if you have a wooden bowl, that's traditionally how the Caesar Salad is served.
Now, we're going to take our halves garlic and just kinda rub it along the sides.
So, it will work well in our metal bowl but if you have, you know, a wooden bowl, it will
just kind of like soak and hold in there even better.
Obviously, the metal won't like hold the flavor, as well as the wooden bowl would.
So, were not gonna leave this in here, we're just rubbing them along the side, just giving
a nice little essence of garlic.
So, let's now add the croutons in, beautiful, and now the dressing, beautiful.
Now, we are going to toss this now.
So, just toss, toss, toss until it's all nice and covered, beautiful, delicious.
Okay, now we're gonna sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top and then we're going to add
the pepper.
Look how gorgeous that is.
And there you go, that's the Classic Caesar Salad.
If you wanna make this into a main meal, just add some chicken.
It is super easy, yummy, and definitely a crowd pleaser.
That's how you make Caesar Salad.
