How To Make caesar cardini salad
-
1In a food processor or blender, add parsley, lemon juice, garlic gloves. Pulsate until parsley is fine.
-
2Add anchovies, eggs, salt and white pepper to incorporate into parsley mixture until anchovies have disappeared.
-
3Slowly pour olive oil into mixture while blender or food processor is on medium or high and all is incorporated. (It will look like a pesto sauce.)
-
4Add parmesan cheese and pulsate until well blended. Remove mixture and store in refrigerator until serving time.
-
5Cut off the bottom of the romaine lettuce and separate leaves. To avoid handling lettuce, float leaves in a clean sink of cold water until lettuce is clean. Remove leaves to a paper or cloth towel to drip dry.
-
6Rub a wooden bowl with a garlic clove. Very carefully tear leaves into pieces. (Each leaf into 3 or 4 pieces.)
-
7Do NOT add dressing until ready to serve. (Dressing will quickly wilt the romaine leaves so the size of the salad will reduce by one-third after adding the dressing.) With clean hands, carefully pull leaves from bottom of bowl until all pieces are coated with the dressing.
-
8Serve with 1/4" slices of french bread, sliced diagnoally and brushed with garlic and olive oil; then lightly toasted in the oven. No need for croutons with this recipe; the salad is simply too delicious standing alone.
