MAMA MIA'S CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• MAKING THE SALAD: Cut the head of Romaine lettuce lengthwise and then crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly and place in a large bowl. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the other ingredients.
• Immediately before serving, add about a 1/2 cup of the dressing to the lettuce. Toss until all the leaves are covered. Taste and add more dressing, if desired. Add the garlic-flavored croutons and toss again.
• Evenly divide the salad between 4 plates and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and top with 1 or 2 anchovy fillets, if desired.
• MAKING THE GARLIC-FLAVORED CROUTONS: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the bread cubes in a single file on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until dry and barely golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
• Combine the olive oil, parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the bread and drizzle it with the olive oil mixture. Toss well to coat and return the pan to the oven. (You MUST bake the croutons twice! The first baking dries the bread and gives a little color. The second baking gets them crispy and golden. If you toss the bread cubes with the oil mixture and only bake once, the garlic will burn before the the bread gets crispy and golden). Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for 6 months (be sure to defrost before using). Makes about 10 cups.
• MAKING THE CAESAR DRESSING: In the bowl of a food processor, add the garlic, anchovies, salt, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder. (If whisking by hand, chop the garlic and anchovies before combining with the other ingredients). Pulse to combine. Add the egg yolks and pulse until blended and thickened.
• With the motor running, very slowly drizzle the oils through the feed tube until they are fully incorporated and the dressing is thick and emulsified. (Of course, you can always use an immersion blender or whisk the dressing by hand.).
• Transfer the dressing to a bowl and whisk in the Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

MAMA'S MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions using salted water.
• Drain and rinse with cold water to remove the starchy water and cool the pasta quickly.
• Shake the strained to remove as much water as possible from the pasta. You want it as dry as possible but not sticking together.
• Place in large bowl and add the veggies. (This really is best and prettiest when the veggies are diced small.).
• Mix all the dressing ingredients together- I usually put it in an empty jar with a tight fitting lid- like an old mayo jar- and shake-the kids like to do this part! (The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in refrigerator).
• Pour dressing over pasta and veggies and stir to thoroughly combine.
• Refrigerate.
• NOTE: Holidays: The red and green veggies look great at Christmastime!
• BBQ's/Picnics: Place the bowl on top of a bowl filled with ice to keep it really cold.
• You can use other veggies too- Great way to use up the garden goodies!
