Leslie's kids love to make this dressing, and the whole family loves to eat it! This is great topped with grilled chicken, or accompanying an Italian dish.
Caesar Salad Dressing
In the bottom of a large mixing bowl or salad bowl, whisk together:
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 T anchovy paste--sold in a tube
1/2 tsp salt
juice of 1 lemon
a few grinds black pepper
Slowly whisk in approximately 1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil. We recommend a light olive oil rather than extra virgin olive oil, which can be a bit bitter in this recipe.
Add in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese--freshly grated or the good 'ole grated stuff in the green can.
Check dressing for seasoning and adjust according to your taste--possibly more lemon or pepper is needed.
Top the prepared dressing with two sliced hearts of Romaine--we like to buy organic Romaine hearts as much as possible. Toss just before serving. Top with homemade croutons (sort of like diced garlic bread) if you wish.
