Ingredients

  • 1 loaf day old Italian bread
  • 3 garlic cloves, mashed
  • 9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 heads romaine lettuce, inner leaves only
  • 7 grinds black pepper
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 6 drops Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch croutons from the loaf of bread and place on a baking sheet and put into the oven until dry but not browned.

Use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic with 4 tablespoons of oil and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Strain the oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add the dried croutons and fry, tossing constantly until all of the oil is absorbed and the croutons turn gold. Set aside.

Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the eggs and cook for 1 minute. Chill in ice water to halt cooking. Set aside.

In a very large bowl, tear lettuce and toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining kosher salt and the black pepper. Add the remaining olive oil. Toss well. Add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Break in the eggs. Toss until a creamy dressing forms. Toss in Parmesan cheese and serve with croutons.

    As a salad, it gets the job done. The croutons are so easy to make it blows my mind that more people don't make them.

    This recipe was a little too lemony...My boyfriend who is a caesar dressing snob gave it an so-so rating. I thought it was ok, but im not very picky.....

    Thanks again, AB. When I saw how long preparing everything was taking me, I began to grow worried (considering that this was only a salad and I had rest of dinner to prepare. Alas, all this for nought, as this was one of the most worthwhile cooking experiences I've had since I began my young cooking 'career'. After two huge (chilled plates of Ceasar salad, I just had a protein smoothie (french vanilla for dessert and called it a dinner. Truly satisfying.

    The fresh squeezed lemon really added a great flavor. Lucky mine was a rather large lemon!
