Caesar Salad

I am posting this recipe because

we have eaten it for dinner the past

three nights at my husband's request.

He LOVES Caesar Salad!

This dressing recipe is AWESOME!

Caesar Salad Dressing

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 tea. minced garlic

1 tea. Worcestershire sauce

1 anchovie packed in oil in a can

olive oil 'til smooth

Salad

Romaine lettuce

Freshly grated parmesan cheese

Croutons (I'll show you how to make your own.)

Add grilled chicken to make a meal.

In a food processor...I use my mini,

add the anchovie to the mayonnaise.

I know what you're thinking...

Anchovies????  Ick!!

PLEASE use the anchovie even if you

hate fishy fish.

It doesn't taste like fish in this recipe...

it adds an amazing bite to the

dressing and it's just not a real

Caesar without it.

You can find cans of anchovies in the

aisle with

canned fish by the tuna.

add the minced garlic...

Add the Worcestershire sauce.

Blend this WELL...

then slowly add olive oil until

the dressing is the thickness you like.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To prepare salad,

cut  Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces

and sprinkle in freshly grated parmesan

cheese.

I first pound chicken breasts until thin,

 brush them with Italian dressing

and toss them on the grill.

Cut into strips.

You can use store-bought croutons,

but making them yourself will

GREATLY enhance the salad!

Croutons

Any crusty white bread

olive oil

Italian seasoning (Found with spices.)

Kraft Parmesan cheese in green canister

Bread is best to use for croutons

when it's starting to stale.

Cut it into chunks like this:

Put the cut bread in a large mixing bowl

and drizzle with olive oil.

Sprinkle heavily with Italian seasoning

and garlic powder.

Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese

and give the croutons a good toss to coat

evenly.

Spread on a foil covered cookie sheet.

Dab any dry croutons with a bit of

olive oil.

Bake croutons at 350-degrees

for 10-13 minutes or until crispy and golden.

Cool before adding to salad.

Toss it all together with the dressing

before serving.

Looking at that mouth-watering photo...

we may have to have this for a FOURTH night!
