Our Caesar Salad is thick, creamy and rich with a great balance of garlic to the other ingredients. We substitute fish sauce for the traditional anchovy fillets; fish sauce is made from anchovies, is much easier to use and you don’t have an opened tin of anchovy fillets to deal with. We strongly recommend splurging on Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheeses, you will taste the difference using these quality cheeses. While you can use store-bought prepared croutons, we don’t recommend it; most have a long list of ingredients, some of which don’t belong in any crouton and too much salt. Again, either seek out good quality croutons from a local bakery or make your own; our recipe for Delicious Homemade Croutons is provided below. This recipe for Caesar Salad serves four persons as an appetizer or first course. If there will be just two persons dining, you may prepare the dressing and reserve the unused Caesar Salad dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator; it will hold fine for 2 to 3 days. Caesar Salad makes a great appetizer prior to Miso Sherry Skirt Steak for a lovely dinner.
