How to Make Authentic Caesar Salad E Z Version

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon anchovy paste.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for a richer flavor).
  3. Rub the inside of a large wooden bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic. Discard the garlic.
  4. Just before serving, prepare the egg: Carefully place a large egg in a coffee cup of boiling water for exactly 1 minute.
  5. Immediately transfer the egg to an ice bath to stop cooking.
  6. Once cooled, crack the egg and add it to the chilled dressing along with the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Shake vigorously until the yolk is fully emulsified.
  7. Add romaine lettuce to the prepared wooden bowl.
  8. Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and gently toss to coat.
  9. Add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup croutons. Serve immediately.
