Classic Caesar Salad

This Caesar salad is the same recipe we made at a very fancy restaurant while I was in college. The best part of the job was making tableside dishes, including this Caesar salad which is the best I've ever had.

Ingreadient

  • 3 anchovy fillets
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons croutons
