Directions: |
Directions:1). For the dressing, whisk together the olive oil and canola oil and set aside. Place the first 9 ingredients into a blender or a food processor and process on high until the ingredients are mixed well. With the food processor running, using a bottle with a nozzle to drip in the oil, add the oil a drop at a time. Go slowly, and once you have about half of the oil in, you can start adding more at a time. The dressing will thicken as the oil is added and should be thick and glossy. Refrigerate a couple of hours before serving.
2). For the salad, remove the outer leaves of the romaine lettuce until you reach the heart. Save the outer leaves for another use. Wash the romaine hearts and dry well with a paper towel. Place the lettuce in a clean kitchen towel and refrigerate to make sure the lettuce will be dry and cold when ready to toss.
3). When you're ready to serve, tear the lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a large salad bowl and add the dressing, 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and a few grinds of fresh black pepper and toss. Add the croutons and toss only a few times so the croutons don't get soggy. Place on chilled salad plates or bowls and top with Parmesan cheese. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
Cook's Note: If you’d like to make this a Caesar Salad with chicken, try adding slices of
Grilled Marinated Chicken, (see recipe). |
