Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing
Recipe by: Karen S.
3-4 medium garlic cloves - crushed
1/4 scant cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3-6 drops red pepper or Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 cup imported pure olive oil
parmesan and garlic croutons for garnish
In a food processor or in a large bowl using a whisk, mix together garlic,
lemon juice, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and cheese until
well-blended and salt is dissolved.
With motor of food processor running or whisking continually, add the oil
in a very thin stream until it is all incorporated. Dressing should have a
light, mayonnaise-like consistency. Makes about one cup. Refrigerate until
needed.
To serve, place a little dressing on the bottom of a large salad bowl.
Place Romaine lettuce on top, sprinkle with garnishing cheese, a few
tablespoons (or to taste) of dressing and toss. Add more dressing if
desired, the remaining cheese and croutons.
