| Caesar Salad |
Caesar salad is a classic Italian salad that is made with romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy dressing made with anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. It is a popular dish at restaurants and is also easy to make at home.
Ingredients
- Sous vide chicken or grilled (120g)
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup croutons
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a more flavorful dressing, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- To make your own croutons, cut stale bread into small cubes and toast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- If you don't have anchovy paste, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of anchovy extract.
- To make the salad ahead of time, assemble it without the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, add the dressing and toss to coat.
Serving suggestions
- Serve Caesar salad as a main course or as a side dish.
- Garnish the salad with a lemon wedge and a few fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.
