Preparation time: 20 min


Cooking time: 10 min


Resting time: N/A


Total time: 30 MIN


Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the Caesar Salad:

- 1 large romaine lettuce (or 2 small heads romaine)


- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved

For the Croutons:

- 1/2 French Baguette, halved and thinly sliced (1/4" thick)


- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil


- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)


- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Caesar Salad Dressing:

- 2 small garlic cloves, minced (1 teaspoon)


- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard


- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice


- 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar


- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil


- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste


- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving

Method:

- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and then diagonally into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.


- In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with 1 teaspoon of finely minced garlic. Drizzle the garlic oil over the bread slices and sprinkle them with 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. Toss until evenly coated. Spread the coated bread slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.


- Bake at 350°F until the croutons are light golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispness.

For the Caesar Salad Dressing:

- In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar.


- While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, or season to taste.

For the Caesar Salad:

- Rinse, dry, and chop or tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.


- Place them in a large serving bowl and generously sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and cooled croutons. Drizzle with the Caesar dressing and gently toss until the lettuce is evenly coated.

Notes:


For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or a dash of lemon zest to your Caesar salad just before serving. It adds a delightful zing to each bite!
