Instructions

Make the Dressing:
In a bowl, mash the anchovies and garlic together to form a paste. Add Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and the egg yolk. Whisk until smooth.
Add the Oil:
Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly until the dressing thickens and emulsifies. Stir in grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Salad:
In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing until evenly coated.

Top It Off:
Add croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast your own croutons in olive oil with garlic.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a full meal.
If you’re concerned about raw egg, use a pasteurized egg or substitute with 1 tbsp mayonnaise.
