Romaine Salad with Quick Caesar Dressing

Serves

This crisp and vibrant salad features a delicious, fool-proof Caesar dressing with no raw eggs, which are a concern for some. 

The dressing will keep in the refrigerator, covered tightly, for up to 3 weeks.

Ingredients

2 small anchovies
1 clove Earthbound Farm Organic Garlic (small clove, minced)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon warm water
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
  Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
3 Earthbound Farm Organic Romaine Hearts (washed and dried, or about 11 oz Organic Washed Romaine Heart Leaves)
2 ounces wedge Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup croutons
4 anchovy fillets (as garnish)

Directions

To make the dressing, combine the first 7 ingredients in a blender and purée. Add the mayonnaise and process to blend. Season with pepper, as desired. Transfer the dressing to a large salad bowl.

Break the romaine hearts into bite-size pieces and add to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat.

Shave ribbons of Parmesan onto the salad with a vegetable parer. Garnish with croutons and anchovy fillets. Serve immediately.
