Caesar Salad is my favorite classic restaurant salad. You just can’t go wrong with this order! I’ve been to a few nice steak places where I’ve ordered their Caesar salad (shout out to Mastro’s & Steak48) and they were by far the BEST Caesar salads I’ve ever had.
This recipe came from my boyfriend’s family and it’s one meal I always look forward to at family parties. It’s perfect for a cold crisp summer salad or a simple salad around the holidays to go with an Italian meal.
Because this is such a simple recipe that takes little to no time, I recommend making this a staple for your parties. Also, not a single person in my family likes Anchovies so if you’d like to add those feel free.

A light and delightful Caesar dressing to coat your romaine lettuce.
- 1 head Romaine Lettuce
- 3 small cloves Garlic peeled (or less for less spice)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Blue Cheese
- 1/4 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan + more for salad
- 1 tsp Dry Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Fresh Lemon Squeezed
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1 Whole Grain Baguette ripped into bite size pieces
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Freshly Shredded Parmesan
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- Salt & Pepper to taste
-
Toss all ingredients (except for the blue cheese & Parmesan) into a food processor and pulse until little to no chunks are left.
-
Add in the blue cheese & Parmesan and pulse until desired consistency.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-
Rip apart the baguette into bite size crouton pieces and place into a large mixing bowl.
-
Mix together the olive oil, parmesan, garlic, and salt & pepper.
-
Pour the mixture over bread and mix until evenly coated.
-
Place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
-
Wash the romaine lettuce and dry. Making sure the leaves are dry is key as lettuce will not hold dressing if wet.
-
Chop or rip apart into bite size pieces (I hate sitting at a restaurant looking foolish trying to shove a large lettuce into my mouth) and place in a large salad bowl.
-
Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss in the croutons & extra Parmesan cheese.
