Ingredients:

1 yolk
16g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
2 anchovies anchovy
40g
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
6g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g
1/3 cup vegetable oil
70g
1/4 cup olive oil
55g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 heads lettuce
1080g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Anchovy-Garlic Paste:
- 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.
2. Make the Caesar Dressing:
- 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.
3. Combine the Oils:
- 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.
4. Season the Dressing:
- Add a dash of salt (about 0.40g) and a dash of black pepper (about 1/10g), stirring well to incorporate.
5. Prepare the Lettuce:
- Wash and thoroughly dry the 2 heads of lettuce.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
6. Dress the Salad:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- Once the lettuce is well-coated with the dressing, sprinkle any remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Optional Additions:
- 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.
