Classic Caesar Salad

How to prepare classic caesar salad

1. For the dressing: mash the garlic clove thoroughly with salt and finely chopped anchovies until you get a smooth paste.
2. Add the egg yolk (raw or boiled, as you normally use for mayonnaise) and mustard. Slowly add oil while stirring continuously until you get a mayonnaise that holds on the spoon.
3. Add the lemon juice, mix, then check if more salt or lemon is needed.
5. Prepare the croutons: cut the bread into cubes and put them in a pan with 2-3 tablespoons of hot oil. Season with pepper. Stir quickly, the bread will absorb the oil, then leave for 1-2 more minutes on heat until the croutons are crispy.
6. Assemble the salad only before eating: wash the lettuce leaves and cut them into strips. Divide them into 4 salad bowls. Add a generous tablespoon of dressing over the salad. Then sprinkle the croutons and finally sprinkle the Parmesan. Serve immediately, otherwise the salad will wilt.
