If you've only had Caesar salad with dressing from a bottle, try this one and you'll be amazed at the difference in quality. The original Caesar Salad was made in Tijuana for Hollywood visitors (named after the proprietor). It is absolutely essential to get the romaine bone-dry for the best salad. Prepare and refrigerate the lettuce at least 2 hours before serving, preferably more.
treboav ,I have been making this salad dressing exactly like this for over 20 years, I do not measure anything anymore. It's such a great dressing.13y
jenburke ,We've made this twice and love it. We only add half the anchovies, the dressing is nice and light, not heavy and creamy, very flavorful. This is the one we'll use from now on. Thank you!13y
christigray004 ,I thought it tasted very fishy. But maybe I bought the wrong anchovies. Mine were packed in oil. Maybe I should have rinsed them?? Not used as many??13y
arvan43 ,Excellent! First time I made homemade Caesar. I did add Parmesan chicken as suggested in your other recipe. Perfect!13y
stevemur ,Hi Lisa, Not sure what you mean -- there is no blue cheese in this recipe (nor should there be).14y
lisacrooke ,This is a really great Caesar recipe. I love the flavor of the blue cheese which I had never seen as an ingredient in Caesar Salad before. It was super garlicky which was also great. I made an edit. I did not have anchovies on hand so I used two tablespoons of chopped capers which add that salty flavor. It was great. I think next time I would use less blue cheese14y
bookumbob0 ,I really love a good Caesar salad, not to fishy tho, i use anchoviy paste instead so i dont have to mess with any anchovies, but they are needed for that salty flavor, i put about 1 full teaspoon in my dressing, then you get the flavor but not the fishyness.14y
ribudda ,For those of you who feel that anchovies can be rather overwhelming, rinse them before you use them in the recipe. That'll remove some of the salt and make the flavor milder. Still need 'em in the dressing. (One will suffice.)15y
leejay11 ,you might want to add alittle tabasco! i was told will eating in puerta rico that it was used in the original recipe. gives it a graet added flavor.15y
zahava ,i used to love ordering caesar salad when i lived in the states. i haven't had it for years. this recipe sounds like a good one and i hope to try it soon! zahava15y
armagetiton ,just an FYI, the anchovy paste is what gives all ceasar dressing the zing you taste, don't skip it just because you are afraid of the fish.15y
dadproffitt ,I plan to make the salad but without the anchovies, other than the fish it sounds great.16y
puerca83 ,Very delicious...I'd try some grilled chicken or shrimp on it next time...great for spring coming up!16y
yatooba ,the lettuce crispness ,and anchovy richness cruton crispness and cheese richness , wonderful alternatives16y
pauly0207 ,Now I can make my favorite salad at home! Thanks for the tips on handling the lettuce!16y
peggymoon ,I live in a rural area, so this great recipe gives me a pure version of my FAVORITE salad. Especially good with fried oysters. Thanks16y
stevemur ,VARIATION -- Picked up ready-to-go Parmesan Chicken Breasts from Whole Foods yesterday... Put dinner plates in freezer, made the dressing with torn romaine, then placed the sauteed chicken breasts (sliced on the bias) on top. Delicious; rave reviews from my wife.17y
blueskylad ,Very nice dressing. But watch the raw egg. Instead I "poached" the egg for 1 minute, makes things a bit safer! Make your own croutons. (Cubed day old French Bread, olive oil, one crushed clove of garlic,heat in saute pan, toss in croutons and brown)17y
