Caesar salad gets a bad rap. People worry about using the raw eggs called for in many recipes. Drenched in dressing and smothered in croutons and cheese, it can have as many calories as a Burger King Whopper. It doesn’t have to be this way. With a moderate amount of dressing, croutons, and cheese, Caesar salad can be a healthy choice. Boiling the egg makes it safer to use. Plus, the dressing has many uses.
Ingredients
1 egg, boiled for 1 minute
1 ounce anchovy fillets (optional), chopped
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
2½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch (⅛ teaspoon) of ground black pepper
1½ cups olive oil
STEP 1: Place the egg, anchovies, if using, wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a bowl. Blend slowly until combined.
STEP 2: Slowly add the oil, blending until smooth and creamy.
Stored in a sealed glass jar or another container in the refrigerator, this dressing will keep for two weeks.
