Easy to make-kids big or small love it. Nose friendly anchovy paste method. I am asked to bring this salad to every function

SERVES 4 -6 , 1 big salad (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a blender, whiz up first 6 ingredients then slowly drizzle olive oil in while blender is still running to make a creamy emulsion.
  2. 2
    Some people like to add an egg yolk at this time, but that is up to you.
  3. 3
    Chill dressing in blender carafe for at least 20 minutes to 1 hour. Whiz up to mix again and taste and make any adjustments.
  4. 4
    Assemble torn lettuce and coutons and bacon in very large bowl.
  5. 5
    Then adding dressing a bit at a time and tossing until coated.
  6. 6
    Present with a little more cheese and pepper if desired.
  7. 7
    my secret touch: I cube and toast any left over bread like sourdough, pumpernickle, italian - about 1 inch cubes.
  8. 8
    I put in the oven and toast on a cookie sheet.
  9. 9
    After I fry my bacon bits,, I reserve a tablespoon of bacon drippings in the frypan and add another tablespoon or so of butter and a little seasoning salt.
  10. 10
    I toss the toasted bread cubes in the yummy drippings, right in the same pan as the bacon was made in and let cool a bit before tossing on salad -- these are buttery and yummy.
  11. 11
    This step can be made ahead. sinfull.
  12. 12
    Your heart will thank you lol.

We really enjoyed this Caesar Salad! It reminded me a lot of the one we get from a local restaurant that we love. I added some chicken to it, and didn't have any croutons. I also used prosciutto instead of bacon, and added more garlic. We will definitely make this one again! Oh I also put olives into it.

    I made this in my food processor, as I don't have a blender. It worked out fine, and went together very quickly. I didn't add the egg yolk. I haven't made Caesar salad without the egg before and I was curious how it would turn out. It was fine. I did not find that it separated while it was being chilled; a quick stir was all it needed to disperse the couple of drops of oil that did separate. Very good - I will have quite the garlic hangover tomorrow. p.s. I put in two inches of anchovy paste and Karl thinks it ought to have been the three.

    We love ceasar salad. This was easy to put together and I actually had anchovy paste on hand. I bought it for some recipe I found here on Zaar but forgot which one it was so I've never used it. Now I know what to do with the paste. Next time I make this, I will definitely cut down on the lemon juice. Way to tart for our taste. We found it overpowered all other tastes. I would use half next time. I did add an egg yoke. It makes the dressing a bit creamier and thicker. I made the dressing the night before, left it in the blender in the fridge and just before tossing, I whized it up for a few seconds. I will be making this again but like I said, with less lemon.
