THE BEST CAESAR SALAD
It should not come as a surprise that the best Caesar salad is also the most traditional version. That means it's time to bring out the anchovies and eggs -- and don't skimp on quality Parmesan cheese. We've even included garlicky homemade croutons to balance the tangy dressing.

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.
SAFE CAESAR SALAD
This recipe came to The Times in the early 1990s, when there was a resurgence of Caesar salads on restaurant menus. All of the work in a classic Caesar salad is in the preparation of the dressing, and in the toasting, basting and frying of the croutons. This recipe omits the coddled egg that is sometimes mixed into the salad at the end of the preparation.

Steps:
- Early in the day, mix garlic and oil together and set aside, covered, at room temperature. Garlic and oil should be allowed to marinate at least 8 hours and can be left to marinate up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 300 degrees. Remove crusts from bread and cut bread into 3/4-inch cubes. Remove garlic from oil, toss bread cubes with 4 tablespoons of the oil, spread them on a baking sheet and allow them to toast about 20 minutes until they are golden brown, turning them so that they toast evenly. Remove from oven and allow to cool briefly.
- Remove heavy outer leaves and cores of the heads of lettuce. Tear remaining leaves in 2-inch pieces. Place them in a salad bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss with the remaining garlic-flavored oil.
- Mix Worcestershire sauce with lemon juice and, if using, the mayonnaise or egg substitute. Pour over the lettuce, and toss. Add croutons and, if using, the anchovies. Toss again. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the bread out on a baking tray and bake for about 12 mins until golden and crisp, then leave to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the 10 anchovy fillets with the vinegar, mustard and garlic, and purée until smooth. Add the egg and pulse until just incorporated. With the machine on, gradually drizzle in the vegetable oil until it emulsifies to create a creamy dressing. Scrape the dressing into a bowl and stir in the cheese. Season, cover with cling film and put in the fridge until well chilled and thickened, at least 30 mins.
- In a very large bowl, toss the chilled lettuce leaves with half the dressing, gently rubbing the dressing onto the leaves with your hands. (Save the remaining dressing for another salad or to serve with grilled chicken.) Divide the dressed lettuce between chilled bowls and scatter the croutons on top. Garnish with anchovy fillets and serve right away, passing round the extra cheese at the table.
