Classic Caesar Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 egg yolks
juice from ½ lemon
¼ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
½ to 1 clove garlic, finely minced or mashed into a paste
½ cup canola oil
¼ cup olive oil
4 thick slices of Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 or 4 hearts of Romaine lettuce, washed and dried
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Directions:
1. Make the croutons by pre-heating the oven to 375ºF (or pre-heat the air fryer to 370ºF). Toss the cubed bread in a bowl with the some olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread the cubes out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until nicely toasted (or air-fry for 5 minutes).
2. Make the dressing by whisking the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and pepper together. Add the anchovy paste and garlic and whisk well. Slowly drizzle in the oils, whisking constantly. Add very slowly at first, so that the sauce doesn’t break. Whisk patiently, adding the oil slowly until all the oil has been incorporated.
3. Cut the Romaine leaves into bite-sized pieces (or leave them whole if desired). Toss the lettuce leaves with some of the dressing. Toss the croutons in at the last minute and plate.
4. Using a vegetable peeler, peel big shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top and serve with some freshly ground black pepper.

The ORIGINAL Caesar Salad at the famous Caesar’s Hotel in Tijuana, Mexico. #caesarsalad #tijuana

Classic Homemade Caesar Salad Recipe
There's nothing like a delicious easy to make fresh Caesar salad recipe that is served with homemade dressing and croutons! Subscribe ►
Crazy enough Caesar salad originated in Tijuana, Mexico by an Italian named Caesar Cardini. Cardini moved to California in the early 20th century and often times during prohibition he, like many others, would head to Tijuana for a drink.
He quickly opened a restaurant and a few years later created the Caesar Salad. Who got that story right?
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 heads of cored romaine lettuce cut into 1 ½” pieces
• ½ cup shaved parmesan cheese
• 1 croutons recipe
• 1 Caesar dressing recipe (there will be some leftover)
• sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Serves 8
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0
Procedures:
1. In a large bowl add in the lettuce, cheese, croutons salt, and pepper.
2. Using a spoon add the desired amount of dressing to the inside of the bowl around the lettuce touching the bowl (see video).
3. Thoroughly toss the greens using tongs until the lettuce, cheese, and croutons are coated in the dressing and serve.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is mixed together with the dressing. it can however be made the day before if the lettuce, dressing, cheese, and croutons are kept separate covered in the refrigerator.
How to Store: Place each ingredient in its own plastic container or bag and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This recipe will not freeze.
Feel free to add in more dressing, croutons, or Parmesan cheese as you see fit.
Be sure to serve the salad immediately after tossing in the dressing.
If there is another romaine lettuce shortage, green leaf or red leaf lettuce as a substitute will work.
Kale is sometimes used as a substitute or as the main green in this recipe.

ABOUT ME:
By the age of 6, there was early evidence that food would play an important role in my life. Practicing penmanship and kitchen creativity, I co-authored my first recipe, “Ham Slam”, with one of my older siblings. It had all the makings of a classic 1960’s American kitchen treasure, featuring gourmet ingredients like Campbell’s cream of celery soup and Durkee’s canned French Fried onion rings. It’s no wonder my culinary career promptly took a diversion until around the age of 40.
But spending years as an executive in the business of marketing brands such as Apple, Microsoft, and Sony Pictures didn’t snuff out my lifelong passion for travel, food, and wine. I eventually found my way back to my culinary roots when I turned my attention to studying technique at Cordon Bleu Paris, exploring new foodie concepts around Europe and documenting them in words and pictures.
I’ve been privileged to pen articles and columns in many publications, including the Food52, Huffington Post, msn.com, Zester Daily, Santa Ynez Valley Journal, Michigan BLUE Lakestyle Magazine, Olive Oil Times and Olive Oil Source, the world’s top-ranked olive oil-related websites.
In the process, there was one more thing I learned. Despite the explosion of global cuisines in restaurants all across the U.S., you can’t fully experience the wide world of flavor all from your own backyard, Toto.
Following that thought put me and my partner, George on a plane to Alicante Spain in 2014 where we have lived ever since. Our mission is to explore the aromas, ingredients and collective imaginations that are all part of Spain’s vast culinary heritage.
