Caesar Salad

1 large romaine lettuce, outer leaves discarded, inner leaves washed and dried

2 garlic cloves

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp mustard ( Dijon or whatever you have)

1 large egg yolk

½ cup EVOO

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese, or 2 ½ ounces shaved with a vegetable peeler

Place the garlic, anchovy fillets, and salt in a wooden salad bowl. Using two dinner forks, mash the garlic and anchovies into a paste. Using one fork, whisk in the pepper, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and egg yolk. Whisk in the olive oil.

Add lettuce, croutons ( recipe below), and cheese to the bowl and toss.

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp Garlic Olive Oil
1 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp salt

Melt the butter and combine with everything but the bread. Drizzle the mixture over the bread cubes and blend to make sure everything is absorbed.
