| CAESAR SALAD | |
1 large head romaine lettuce 1 cup olive oil 3 cups French or Italian bread 2 large cloves garlic 8 anchovy filets 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best) 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1 teaspoon coarse ground salt 2 egg yolks for large eggs, at room temperature* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved | |
Now, that's what I thought I was getting (with chicken, in fact).
I got chicken, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, cucumbers, parmesan (grated and shredded), and what tasted like some kind of almost poppyseed dressing (probably mostly guar gum), with a lemon wedge on top and croutons.
Now, it wasn't actually bad, but I have to wonder why they thought they would name it a Caesar.
BTW, here's Cesar's actual recipe (looks like they Anglicize his name now), and *of course* it's got anchovies (duh!):
