Daddy's Caesar Salad

Source of Recipe

My dad's version of a Food Network recipe by Cathy Lowe


Recipe Introduction

My dad is famous for his salads. And this Caesar is one of his best. This is a Caesar with 'pow'. Not for the timid, it is a strong, bold salad. Make your own croutons and this will likely be the best Caesar you've ever tasted!

List of Ingredients

DRESSING:
6 cloves garlic, minced & mashed or put through a press
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Lemon juice
1 T. anchovy paste

SALAD:
Dole Italian lettuce blend
McCormick Salad Supreme
Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb blend
Croutons, preferably homemade
Parmesan Cheese, to taste


Recipe

Combine garlic, mustard, Worcestershire, vinegar and two pinches of salt in a mini blender and mix thoroughly. Add mayonnaise and blend together. In a slow stream add olive oil through hole in lid (my mini blender doesn't have a hole in the lid so I just added a little bit at a time). Add anchovy paste.

Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Add the Salad Supreme and Mrs. Dash to lettuce blend in a bowl. Add as much dressing and Parmesan cheese as you like, tossing well. Add croutons.

Makes 1 - 1 1/2 c. salad dressing.
