Chris's Homemade Caesar Salad

Vampires beware... this very garlicky Caesar salad dressing will keep away even the hungriest of blood-suckers!






Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tsp Worcester sauce
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce

Directions
  1. Cut, wash and dry the romaine lettuce, and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl pour the olive oil, Worcester sauce and lemon juice and mix well.
  3. Add the garlic, mustard and the egg yolk and blend thoroughly.
  4. Begin adding the Parmesan, gradually, until you've reached a thick but not paste-like consistency. If the dressing becomes too thick, add small amounts of olive oil until the desired consistency is reached.
  5. Grind some black pepper over the dressing and blend, then add the romaine leaves and toss well to coat each leaf.
  6. Sprinkle some Parmesan, pepper and croutons over the top of the tossed salad for garnish and serve. 
  7. Be prepared to offer mints to everyone after dinner!
