Caesar Salad Supreme
(Feeds six)
Ingredients
6 cloves garlic, peeled
3/4 cup mayonnaise
5 anchovy fillets, minced (or use the anchovy paste in a tube)
6 tablespoons grated FRESH Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon FRESH lemon juice
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cups day-old bread, cubed
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
Directions
1 Mince 3 cloves of garlic, and combine in a small bowl with mayonnaise, anchovies, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
** I never make my own croutons - use Mrs. Brownberry's Oven style.**
2 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut the remaining 3 cloves of garlic into quarters, and add to hot oil. Cook and stir until brown, and then remove garlic from pan. Add bread cubes to the hot oil. Cook, turning frequently, until lightly browned. Remove bread cubes from oil, and season with salt and pepper.
3 Place lettuce in a large bowl. Toss with dressing, remaining Parmesan cheese, and seasoned bread cubes
