I went to Caesar's Hotel Restaurant and Bar in Tijuana Mexico to eat this original Caesar Salad. it was truly the best salad I have ever eaten. It was not too garlicky, not too many anchovies, just perfect. Made table-side, you can see the whole process. The waiter, who has been making it for 28 years, gave us the actual recipe printed on a card (so I stopped furiously writing it down!).

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Yields: 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 head romaine lettuce

¾ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

¼ tablespoon Dijon mustard.

1 clove crushed garlic

1 Coddled egg

1 lime, juiced

Fresh ground black pepper

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 sliced baguette oven baked garlic croutons

6 Anchovy filets

Directions

1Clean lettuce thoroughly and refrigerate until crisp, at least 1 hour or more.

2In a wooden bowl combine olive oil, mustard, anchovies, garlic and part of the grated parmesan, whisk with a wooden paddle until it forms a paste.

3Once cooled crack the egg and whisk yolk into dressing until thoroughly blended.

4Add whole romaine lettuce leaves and gently roll them into the dressing.

5Serve on a platter and add the rest of the grated cheese, croutons, fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.
