Add some grilled chicken, cut into thin strips if desired
Flavorful Caesar Salad Dressing |
This Caesar dressing is so
good you’ll be tempted to lick your plate clean! For a more traditional and creamy Caesar
Dressing simply add ½ cup mayonnaise.
1/3 cup water
1 ½ lemons juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoons sugar
6 cloves garlic
1/2 cup fine ground Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional)
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree
until smooth. Pour over Caesar Salad add croutons and toss. Place fine ground Parmesan cheese in a sifter and sift over the salad. Serve immediately.
Homemade Croutons
4 slices day-old bread of any kind, cubed (I love
to use day- old baguettes)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons herbs de Provence or Tuscan herb mix
½ cup fine ground Parmesan or Romano cheese
coarse salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
In large skillet, sauté bread in oil and butter,
stirring frequently until browned. Add
herbs and garlic and sauté a few more minutes. Transfer bread cubes to bowl and
stir in Parmesan cheese. Toss in Caesar Salad just before serving.
I'm so glad you made this since I need to add more kale into our families diet. That dressing looks good. As always, you provide such beautiful and delicious food. Thanks Andrea!
