I know this is a grand shout out, but this recipe makes the most perfect caesar salad dressing of all time! It’s true. My father in law Dave, passed it along to me from a newspaper clipping he has used for years and years, and it has yet to meet it’s match!
This past weekend we took in the hills Garlic Festival and loaded up on our favorite local cave aged organic cheese, we took home huge 1/4 wheels of all our favorite types, and I was just aching to dive into the mountain grana today, and a caesar salad seemed a most fitting venue for a salty parm like cheese.
So folks here it is, the best caesar salad dressing recipe ever:
In a food processor pulse:
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup of fresh grana or parm cheese
the add:
1 egg yoke
tsp anchovy paste
tsp dijon mustard
juice from 1/2 a lemon
dash of Tabasco sauce
dash of Worcestershire sauce
dash or red wine vinegar
1/4 c good olive oil
pinch of sea salt
fresh ground pepper
Serve slathered on a bed of garden fresh romaine, with garlic toasted crutons and if you so desire some pan seared bits of bacon, and you must not forget a good shred of grana cheese to finish it off with.
