You have to use a wooden salad bowl to prepare this. Serving Size: 4 Preparation Time: 0:20 Ingredients 1 large head romaine lettuce 1 cup olive oil 3 cups French bread 2 large cloves garlic 8 anchovy filets 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best) 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1 teaspoon coarse ground salt 2 egg yolks for large eggs -- at room temperature (either use pasturized eggs or coddled to stave off the cooties) 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1/4 cup parmesan cheese -- shredded or shaved Preparation: Trim the romaine lettuce of bruised or browned leaves, then cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Wash and drain the lettuce, pat it dry and refrigerate for 30 minutes to crisp the leaves. To make the croutons, cut the bread into cubes, heat the 1/2 cup olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Fry the bread cubes in the oil, tossing frequently, until they're crisp and golden. Drain the croutons on a paper towel until ready to use. Peel the garlic cloves then put in a large wooden salad bowl. Mash the cloves against the sides of the bowl with the back of a wooden spoon. Rub the pieces against the bowl until they begin to disintegrate. Remove most of the mashed garlic from the bowl and discard (oil from the garlic will remain in the bowl and flavor the salad). Add the anchovies and repeat the procedure you used with the garlic, but leave the anchovy pieces in the bowl. Now add the dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, and egg yolks and blend well. Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil mixing with a wire whisk until a creamy mayonnaise type dressing forms. Add the lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese and salt. Toss everything together and serve directly from the salad bowl! |

I'm on Jaques' side. A Caesar salad without anchovies just doesn't make it for me. Big Al |

Yeah, Al. Cesar salads should have anchovies. |

I like them too, but she asked for the original, not the .. ahem..modern bastardization.
