Caesar Salad

Caesar Salad. What is there to say about this salad that hasn't been said before. If the dressing doesn't have a good balance of acidity (salt, vinegar, and lemon juice) and fat (oil and egg yolk), it will fall flat and probably taste fishy due to the anchovies. Here is a solid recipe that's a cinch!


I use toasted "rustic" style loaf bread instead of traditional croutons.
I feel that whole toasted bread gives this "lite" salad a bit of hardiness.


Use only enough dressing to coat the leaves. Also, make sure your lettuce
 is properly washed and dried before dressing, otherwise you'll end up eating
 dirt, or drinking your salad.

Ingredients:
2 heads of baby gem lettuce
2 heads of red oak lettuce
2 slices of toasted bread
3tblsp shaved Parmesan

Caesar dressing:
1 cup grapeseed oil

1. Puree all the ingredients together aside from the oil
2. Slowly drizzle the oil until the dressing resembles runny mayonnaise
