THE BEST CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the croutons: Put the olive oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When the butter is completely melted add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Carefully swirl the pan to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the garlic to infuse the oil mixture.
• Put the bread pieces on a baking sheet. Evenly pour the garlic mixture over the bread and toss to coat. Spread the bread in a single layer and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the bread halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with black pepper and Parmesan. Set aside to cool.
• For the salad: Soak the anchovies in a small bowl of water for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain and pat dry. Finely chop the anchovies and garlic, then use the side of your knife to mash them to a paste.
• Add the anchovy paste, egg yolk, Dijon mustard and lemon juice to a large bowl and whisk to combine. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Stir in 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan. If needed, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time to thin the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the lettuce and croutons to a large bowl and gently toss with the dressing until coated. Top with grated Parmesan and serve immediately.

TACO CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, chili powder, paprika, cumin and some salt and pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices, browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
• To make the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, adobo sauce, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the romaine lettuce and toss until well coated. Then add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and toss again.
• Lay out the tortillas and top each one with half of the dressed romaine, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese and taco chicken. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Roll up the tortillas, leaving one end open, then wrap in sandwich paper, leaving 1 to 2 inches of the wrap open and exposed. Enjoy, removing the paper as needed. To transport, cover each wrap entirely in foil.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire, garlic, lemon juice, anchovy paste, salt and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Add the lettuce to the dressing; toss well to coat.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the remaining Parmesan evenly over the bottom of the pan.
