Caesar Salad

From Robin: “Sami, the maître d’ at the Manor, made this at one of my birthday meals. Ben and Michaela watched him intently, memorized the ingredients, and wrote it down the second we got home. They reproduced his caesar salad flawlessly.”

Ingredients

Dressing:

• 3 anchovies in oil

• Olive oil, to taste

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 egg yolk

• 2 tsp lemon juice

• 1⁄2 tsp dry mustard

• Dash Worcestershire sauce

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Salad:

• Lettuce

• Parmesan cheese

• Croutons

Directions

1. Using a large dinner spoon, mash the anchovies against the sides of a salad bowl. Add a little bit of olive oil, and garlic, then continue to mash against the sides of the bowl, mashing the garlic as well.

2. Add the rest of the dressing ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Add olive oil where needed to loosen the consistency of the dressing.

3. Put lettuce in the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Top with fresh parmesan and croutons.
