Ingredients
  

Caesar Salad

  • 4 eggs, cooked through
  • 10 Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • Lemon wedges or slices for serving
  • 5 cups Lettuce of choice, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • Parmesan shavings for serving
  • Herb Croutons for serving

Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 smoked sardine/anchovies, backbone removed
  • 3-5 tablespoons of good quality olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • ¾ cup parmesan, grated
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons of sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon dijon
  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • Mash the sardine in a large bowl. Add all the remaining dressing ingredients. Stir to combine and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavors to blend.
  • Meanwhile, combine all the salad ingredients in a bowl. When the dressing is refrigerated enough, give it a good stir and pour over the salad.
  • Garnish with lemon slices, croutons, more parmesan shavings, black cracked pepper and dig in!

Notes

  • Dressing - you should end up with almost 1 & ½ cups of the ready-made Caesar salad dressing. You don't have to add all of it to the salad, start with a little drizzle in the beginning and see if you need more. The most common serving size for dressing is 2 tablespoons.
  • Nutrition - calories mentioned are per 1 & ½ cups of caesar dressing.
  • Salad ingredients are for 4 smaller salad portions and you will not use the whole caesar salad dressing. 
  • Properly sealed dressing stored in a jar or food container will keep in the fridge for  2-3 days.
  • What can I substitute for anchovies? Anchovies give that impeccable umami flavor to the dish but not everyone loves the smell of anchovies. You can easily substitute anchovies with sardines, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce (add to the sauce but don’t smell it!), soy sauce, shrimp paste, miso paste, kalamata olives paste.
  • Why is my Caesar dressing separating? Caesar salad may separate if you may have added too much olive oil and not whisked well. Olive oil should be added while vigorously stirring the rest of the ingredients in a smaller bowl or even better a glass jar.
