Answer 1

This is a recipe for a classic Caesar Salad:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
3 hearts romaine lettuce
1/2 cup Caesar Dressing, recipe follows
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan

In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and bread cubes, tossing well to coat with oil. Toast in the skillet for 7 minutes until golden.

Tear the romaine hearts into bite size pieces. Toss with the Caesar Dressing making sure to coat all the leaves generously. Garnish with shaved Parmesan and the garlic croutons.

Caesar Dressing:
3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 egg yolk*
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt

In a medium bowl mix together the anchovy fillets, capers, mustard, egg yolk, and garlic. While whisking vigorously add the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream. Whisk in the red wine vinegar and lemon juice. Stir in the heavy cream and season, to taste, with the salt.

Will keep for several days stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Yield: 1 cup

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Caesar's salad is made with romaine lettuce not any other. It has bits of bacon, crutons, and the dressing which is like an Italian with cheese in it. Many Caesar's salad have a sprinkling of blue cheese.

Answer 3

Caesar salad: Chopped Romaine Lettuce, fresh grated Parmesan or Romano (typically) cheese, garlic flavored croutons, tossed with Caesar dressing.

Regular salad: Anything you want, on a bed of greens of your choice, topped with the salad dressing you desire and garnished with anything you like.
