Ingredients:
3 cups Romaine lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
1 cup croutons
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 egg yolks (ensure they are fresh and safe to consume raw)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated or finely shredded
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Make the Caesar dressing:
In a bowl, combine egg yolks, minced garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
While mixing, gradually pour in the olive oil, whisking continuously until the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Assemble the salad:
In a large bowl, combine the Romaine lettuce with the Caesar dressing, tossing until the lettuce is evenly coated.
Add croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese, and toss gently.
Serve:
Serve immediately to ensure the croutons remain crisp.
Customization Suggestions:
Add Meat: If desired, you can add grilled chicken or shrimp to the salad.
Vegetarian Version: Use vegan egg yolks and dairy-free Parmesan cheese.
Add Vegetables: For more flavor and nutrition, consider adding cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocados.
