Ingredients

Caesar Salad Dressing:

6 cloves garlic, mashed and minced

1 tablespoon mustard sauce

1 tablespoon vinegar

Salt and black pepper

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 cup olive oil

Lemon juice

Anchovy fillets (optional)

Caesar Salad Croutons:

1 baguette (french baguette)

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon black pepper

Lettuce (for serving)

Grated Parmesan (for serving)

Directions:

1. Caesar salad dressing: Mix garlic, mustard, vinegar and two pinches of salt in a blender. Add the mayonnaise and blend together to form a thick base. Slowly add the olive oil and mix well. Take out the dressing and season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Optional, add some anchovy to the dressing to create a deeper, saltier taste.

2. Caesar salad croutons: Cut the baguette into cubes. Melt the butter in a pan and add the garlic powder, paprika and pepper. Add the bread cubes and saute until the bread cubes begin to brown.

3. Wash and dry the lettuce. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, dressing and croutons. Top with freshly grated Parmesan. Toss gently to combine well.
