Classic Caesar Salad
Ingredients
Croutons
- 8 cups cubed sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Caesar Dressing
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 5 large garlic cloves, crushed
- 4 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/3 tsp salt
Instructions
Croutons
- Turn your oven on to broil – on high, line a large pan with parchment paper and have your bread ready.
- In a bowl combine oil, onion powder, garlic powered, parsley and salt.
- Add cubed bread and start mixing immediately. Mix until all the bread is coated in oil, spread the bread in a single layer on the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and watch it closely. Every 1-2 minutes mix the croutons using a large spatula. DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE OVEN. Croutons should be a deep golden color with the corners a little chard. Once completely cooled store in a zip-lock bag.
Caesar Dressing
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Notes
This recipe makes enough dressing to dress 8-10 heads of romaine lettuce. This salad goes really great with smoked chicken (recipe on the blog).
