Well, I'll throw my recipe in for you to try! My customers love it and my sons call it
Mom’s Caesar Salad
Inner ribs of one Romaine Lettuce
1 very large clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon capers (not the juice - just the capers)
1 anchovy fillet
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Kean's dry hot mustard
2 drops of Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Lemon juice
1 egg yolk (separated from white - discard white)
4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup freshly grated Regianno or Parmesan cheese (grate it yourself)
a few curls of Parmesan (use a vegetable peeler)
Homemade Croutons (recipe follows) or high-quality store bought ones
In wooden salad bowl, press garlic with a fork and add salt. Continue to mash the garlic until it is a pulp. You can add 2 cloves if you love it.
Add capers and anchovy fillet to Garlic pulp and mash into a pulp.
Mix in pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
Whip in the red wine vinegar then add the oil
and lemon juice. Make sure ingredients are well mixed.
Whip in the egg yolk.
Immediately toss the salad, and add the grated cheese and croutons as you are mixing, along with half the bacon crumbles.Serve in wooden bowls, and top with remaining bacon and cheese curls. You can add a lemon wedge and some more cracked pepper on the top.
Homemade Croutons
(Use what you need - freeze the rest)
1 loaf Italian bread - dried at room temp. for 2 days
3-4 cloves smashed and minced garlic
1 branch fresh basil, finely minced
1/2 branch fresh oregano, finely minced
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/4 - 1/3 cup olive oil
Cut Italian bread into 1 inch slices and allow to dry at room temp for up to 2 days.
Mix all other ingredients and let sit at room temp for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Cut bread into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes and place in large bowl.
Pour herb and oil over bread in batches, tossing as you add. You want to lightly oil the bread - if you need a bit more add it sparingly.
Evenly distribute the oil and herbs over the bread.
Spread out in a single layer (may have to do this more than once) and bake at 325 for 20-30 minutes.
Allow to cool and use as needed.
Good Luck!

Caesar Salad
Serves 4 to 6
For the croutons:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 eight-to ten ounce loaf rustic Italian bread, crusts removed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
2 cloves garlic
4 anchovy fillets
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 ten-ounce heads romaine lettuce, outer leaves discarded, inner leaves washed and dried
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, or 2 1/2 ounces shaved with a vegetable peeler
1. Make the croutons: Preheat oven to 450°. Combine butter and olive oil in a large bowl. Add bread cubes, and toss until coated. Sprinkle salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper; toss until evenly coated. Spread bread in a single layer on an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet. Bake until croutons are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside until needed.
2. Make the salad: Place garlic, anchovy fillets, and salt in a large wooden salad bowl. Using two dinner forks, mash garlic and anchovies into a paste.
3. Using one fork, whisk in pepper, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and egg yolk
4. Using the fork, whisk in the olive oil.
5. Chop romaine leaves into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Add croutons, romaine, and cheese to the bowl, and toss well. If you wish, grate extra cheese over the top. Serve immediately. To make a version of this dressing that you can store, simply mince garlic and anchovies, and place with remaining ingredients in a jar. Screw the lid on the jar tightly, and shake to combine. Shake the jar before each use. Store, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
