BEST CAESAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Place whole egg and egg yolk in a bowl of food processor and pulse to combine. Add anchovies that have been drained, and capers to the egg. Blend until pale/light yellow and frothy.
• Add garlic and mustard. Blend, again.
• Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend again.
• With food processor running, pour in 1 1/2 cups of the oil in a slow drizzle/stream. Add parmesan. Continue blending. Add the rest of the oil in a slow drizzle.
• Check consistency. If the dressing is too thick (like mayonnaise), add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending with each addition, until you reach the desired consistency. Personally, I like it thick like mayo, but make it to your desired consistency.
• I like to add shredded (not grated) parmesan on my salad after I've mixed the lettuce with the dressing. Crumbled bacon is also good mixed in the salad.

CAESAR FRENCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in blender except the pepper and mix well. Blend again before combining with lettuce. Sprinkle more parmesan cheese on after mixing with lettuce.
• Top with pepper, parmesan, and croutons.
• This recipe makes about 3/4 cup dressing.

CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Make the torn croutons: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove the crusts from the bread, then cut into inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into inch-wide strips, and tear each strip into inch-size pieces. Toss with olive oil to coat them evenly, then spread pieces out in a single layer on a baking sheet. (Use a second sheet if needed to prevent crowding.) Toast for 18 to 22 minutes, checking them after 8 minutes. Rotate pans, switch their oven positions and use a metal spatula to turn the croutons so they brown evenly. Bake until they're golden brown and crunchy on the outside, with just a tiny bit of chew on the inside. Season with a light sprinkling of salt if needed. Use immediately; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Meanwhile, make mayonnaise: Place the egg yolk in a deep, medium metal or ceramic bowl. Dampen a tea towel and roll it up into a long log, then form it into a ring on the counter. Place the bowl inside the ring; this will hold the bowl in place while you whisk. (And if whisking by hand is simply out of the question, use a blender, stand mixer or food processor.)
• Use a ladle or bottle with a nozzle to drip in the neutral oil a drop at a time, while whisking the oil into the yolk. Go. Really. Slowly. And don't stop whisking. Once you've added about half the oil, you can start adding a little more oil at once. You want the mayonnaise to be stiff, but if it thickens so much that it's impossible to whisk, add a teaspoon or so of lemon juice to help thin it out.
• Prepare the dressing: Coarsely chop the anchovies and then pound them into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle. The more you break them down, the better the dressing will be.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the anchovies, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, Parmesan, Worcestershire and pepper. Taste with a leaf of lettuce, then add salt and adjust the acid (the lemon juice and vinegar) as needed, or add a little of each salty ingredient (Worcestershire, anchovies, Parmesan) to the dressing, bit by bit. Adjust the acid, then taste and adjust the salty ingredients until you reach the ideal balance of salt, fat and acid.
• Use your hands to toss the greens and torn croutons with an abundant amount of dressing in a large bowl to coat evenly. Garnish with Parmesan and black pepper and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftover dressing, covered, for up to 3 days.

MRS. G'S BEST CAESAR DRESSING

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the mayonnaise with the 3 tablespoons of grated pecorino, 1 anchovy and the water, lemon, vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Process until smooth. (note, you can smash or put the garlic through the press. The garlic is boiled for 30 seconds just to take some of the "bite" out of the raw garlic, especially since there's a good amount of garlic.).
• In a large salad bowl, toss the romaine with the dressing and season with black pepper. Garnish with pecorino shavings and anchovy fillets and serve right away.
