Have you noticed that everything comes in a bottle these days? I have to go to a fine-dining restaurant to get a 'real' Ceasar Salad--and even then sometimes I wonder. I actually recall waiters making the dressing at the table. Here are the steps to make real honest-to-goodness, Ceasar Salad.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 egg (yes, raw)
  • 2-3 tbsp. of lemon juice
  • Anchovy paste
  • Salt/Pepper
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • bunch of green lettuce
  • croutons
  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, mix together the oil and egg with fork.

  2. Step 2

    Add in the lemon juice--start with 2 tablespoons, add more later (once fully mixed) to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Mix in the minced garlic and shake in 2-3 "shakes" of Worcestershire sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Take the anchovy paste and squeeze about 3 inches of paste into the bowl. Mix well with a fork until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Add Parmesan cheese. Mix again. Salt/Pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Now it's your turn to "tweak to taste." Take a little taste and ask yourself if it needs a bit more lemon, maybe a tad more garlic or another shake of Worcestershire sauce. Once it tastes perfect for you, pour over a large bowl of green lettuce and croutons. Toss well.

    Enjoy!
