Recipe Instructions

Prepare Lettuce:
Start by thoroughly washing and drying the romaine lettuce. Once clean, tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. For optimal crispness, place the torn lettuce in a plastic bag and refrigerate for several hours. This step ensures your salad leaves are wonderfully chilled and crisp. -
Prepare Dressing:
In a jar, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously to blend all the flavors. This dressing is the heart and soul of your Caesar Salad Supreme. Remember to shake it often while refrigerating to keep the ingredients well combined. -
Assemble Salad:
Just before serving, retrieve the chilled lettuce from the refrigerator and transfer it to a large salad bowl. Add the croutons to the bowl alongside the lettuce. Give the dressing jar one final shake to ensure all ingredients are well mixed, then pour the dressing over the lettuce and croutons. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese. -
Toss with Gusto:
It’s time to toss your Caesar Salad Supreme to perfection! Use salad tongs or your impeccably clean hands to gently toss the salad, ensuring that every leaf is coated in the luscious dressing. Don’t rush this step; the key to a sublime Caesar Salad lies in the art of tossing! -
Final Touches:
Create a well in the center of the dressed salad. Into this well, place the egg yolks and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss once more to incorporate these final ingredients, infusing your salad with an extra layer of richness and tanginess. For those who crave extra Parmesan, feel free to sprinkle more over the top. After all, there’s no such thing as too much cheese in a Caesar Salad Supreme! -
Serve and Enjoy:
With all elements perfectly combined, it’s time to serve up your Caesar Salad Supreme and bask in the praise of your delighted guests. Whether enjoyed as a standalone meal or paired with your favorite entrees, this salad is sure to steal the spotlight and leave everyone clamoring for seconds. -
Bonus Tip:
Remember, the secret to an exceptional Caesar Salad lies not only in the quality of ingredients but also in the finesse of your tossing technique. So toss with confidence, and revel in the culinary masterpiece you’ve created!
