Perfect for those adhering to a gluten-free diet, this salad brings together fresh ingredients and a homemade dressing that is sure to impress at any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the 2 garlic cloves finely.
- Using a fork, mash the minced garlic cloves and the 2 anchovy fillets together into a smooth paste. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until well combined.
- Add the minced garlic and anchovy paste to the bowl and whisk until integrated.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine 1/3 cup of vegetable oil and 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Slowly drizzle the oil mixture into the bowl with the egg mixture while constantly whisking to emulsify the dressing. Continue to whisk until the dressing is thick and creamy.
- Add a dash of salt (about 0.40g) and a dash of black pepper (about 1/10g), stirring well to incorporate.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the 2 heads of lettuce.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
- Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over the lettuce, a little at a time, gently tossing the lettuce with each addition until the leaves are evenly coated.
- Once the lettuce is well-coated with the dressing, sprinkle any remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- For extra flavor, you can top the salad with gluten-free croutons or additional anchovy fillets.
Tips:
- Chill your lettuce heads before assembling the salad to keep them crisp and fresh.
- For a smoother dressing, blend all the dressing ingredients together in a food processor or blender.
- If you find the taste of anchovies too strong, reduce the amount used or replace them with a few drops of fish sauce for a milder flavor.
- Experiment with different types of lettuce or add mixed greens to vary the texture and flavor of the salad.
- Toast some gluten-free croutons to add a crunchy element to your salad.
