Ingredients
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano, plus a block for shaving
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 or 4 anchovy fillets
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 3 to 4 slices day old rustic Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 hearts romaine lettuce
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor add the 1 cup of cheese, the lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, the mustard and the anchovies. Turn the machine on and let it run for 15 to 20 seconds. As the machine is running, drizzle in 1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil. Let the machine run for another 15 seconds after the oil has incorporated. Season, to taste, with salt.
Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil. Smash 2 garlic cloves and add them to the pan over medium heat. When the garlic cloves have become golden and are very aromatic remove them and discard, they have fulfilled their garlic destiny. Stir in the bread cubes, season with salt, to taste, and saute them until they have absorbed all of the oil and are crispy, but still slightly pliable.
Break apart the lettuce leaves. Swish them in cool water, then pat them dry. In a large bowl toss the leaves with the dressing. Arrange the leaves on serving plates and sprinkle with the garlic croutons. Shave some Parmesan over the salads and serve.

This is crack on a plate. I've never been much of a Caesar salad lover before, but our whole family has developed a huge addiction to it with this recipe.

I loved it. I used dried mustard instead of Dijon. Also added a few capers when blending it together. It made too much dressing for 2 hearts of romaine, but it was tasty!
