Photo: Guy's Caesar Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 egg*
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 heads of Romaine lettuce
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, for garnish
Directions
Beat the egg in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients except the lettuce and the cheese and whisk to combine.
Cut the stems off the heads of Romaine and fan out the lettuce on a serving platter. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the lettuce and drizzle the dressing on top. Serve immediately.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

I saw this recipe in Guy's cookbook and was excited to make my own caesar dressing for the first time. It was pretty awful - as you can see it has a TON of olive oil in it and that's pretty much all it tasted like. Plus it makes way way too much dressing - I only used half the batch and my salad was still dripping with it. I'm pretty annoyed I wasted a whole cup of olive oil on this recipe, half of which went down the drain.
Also, just a note - in the cookbook it says to "coddle" the egg, with a footnote saying that means to boil it for 10 minutes. Well folks what that gets you is a hard-boiled egg! No whisking that. I even checked that I didn't read it wrong (thought maybe it said 10 seconds. When I saw this version I then used a raw egg instead.
