Classic Caesar Salad Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Make the dressing: mix the lemon juice, half the parmesan cheese, egg and anchovies in a mixing bowl and gradually add oil while whisking to emulsify. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Make the croutons: sprinkle paprika over the sliced bread and mix well. Heat butter in a pan and add the bread cubes, toast well until crispy and browned, then remove from heat.
• Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Pan fry until well-done and slice into strips.
• Using your hands, tear off the chunks of the lettuce from its heads and rip into pieces.
• Toss lettuce and anchovy dressing together, making sure to not overdress the lettuce.
• Plate and serve.

Steps:

• 1. The Dressing
• A great Caesar salad gets its swagger from a great dressing. Squeamish about raw egg yolks and anchovies? Sorry. Yolks are what give richness to the emulsion, while anchovies provide a briny blast (and that whole umami thing). Here's our go-to recipe: Chop together 6 anchovy fillets packed in oil, 1 small garlic clove, and a pinch of kosher salt. Use the side of a knife blade to mash into a paste, then scrape into a medium bowl. Whisk in 2 large egg yolks*, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Adding drop by drop to start, gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil, then 1/2 cup vegetable oil; whisk until dressing is thick and glossy. Whisk in 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Can be made 1 day ahead.
• 2. The Croutons
• Make your own. Tearing, not cutting, the bread ensures nooks and crannies that catch the dressing and add texture. Toss 3 cups torn 1" pieces country bread with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake at 375°F, tossing occasionally, until golden, 10-15 minutes.
• 3. The Lettuce
• Use whole leaves from 3 romaine hearts to feed 6 people. They provide the ideal mix of crispness, surface area, and structure.
• 4. The Cheese
• Caesars crowned with a mound of grated Parmesan may look impressive, but all that clumpy cheese mutes the dressing. Instead, use a vegetable peeler to thinly shave a modest amount on top for little salty bursts.
• 5. The Assembly
• Skip the tongs. Use your hands to gently toss the lettuce, croutons, and dressing, then top off with the shaved Parm.

Steps:

• Rub the inside of a salad bowl with garlic clove and discard clove.
• Stir anchovy pieces, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and spices to make a dressing.
• Coat lettuce with dressing.
• Break cottled egg (directions below) over salad squeeze lemon and add croutons, (directions below) and cheese.
• Toss and serve.
• To make croutons: Butter both sides of bread and sprinkle with garlic powder.
• Cut into cubes and toast either in a dry skillet or in a 400F oven until golden and dry. about 10-15 minutes.
• To make coddled egg: Place cold egg in warm water.
• Cover with boiling water for 30 seconds
• Immerse in ice water to stop cooking process.

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the bread in a single layer and turn heat to medium. When oil shimmers, add bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper; brown lightly on all sides, adding a little more oil if necessary. Remove and set aside.
• Rub the inside of a salad bowl with the garlic clove; discard it. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Pierce a tiny hole in the broad end of each egg with a pin or needle and boil them for 60 to 90 seconds; they will just begin to firm up. Crack them into the salad bowl, being sure to scoop out the white that clings to the shell.
• Beat eggs with a fork. Gradually add lemon juice and 6 tablespoons oil, beating all the while. Stir in anchovies and Worcestershire. Taste and add salt if needed, and lots of pepper. Toss well with lettuce; top with Parmesan and croutons; toss again at table. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the vegan caesar dressing: In a high-powered blender, combine the cashews, water, garlic, capers, kelp, Dijon mustard, and nutritional yeast. Blend on medium speed until the cashews are mostly broken down and the dressing is starting to become thick, then add the lemon juice and blend on medium-high speed until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. With the blender running on medium speed, stream in the olive oil to emulsify. Add the salt and pepper and pulse to incorporate. The dressing will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Make the pepita parm: In a food processor, pulse together the pepitas and nutritional yeast until broken down to a texture similar to grated Parmesan cheese. Add the olive oil and salt and pulse until the crumbs are moistened and starting to clump together. The pepita parm will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
• Make the crunchy chickpea croutons: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• On an unlined baking sheet, toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper until the chickpeas are well coated.
• Roast for 18-20 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy on the outside and somewhat tender on the inside. The chickpea croutons will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, season the romaine and kale with a couple of pinches of kosher salt. Drizzle with ⅓ cup of the dressing and toss until well coated. Add up to ⅓ cup more dressing until dressed to your taste. Add half of the chickpea croutons and ¼ cup of the pepita parm and toss to incorporate. Top with the remaining chickpeas and more pepita parm. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
