Caesar Salad (The Best)
1. Capers
These briny little buttons are what distinguish our best Caesar salad from our classic version. Fried in oil, they explode and bring a crispy and enjoyable texture when you bite into them. Be sure to set a few aside to chop into the dressing.
2. Croutons
You want small bread cubes that are perfectly golden and crunchy. You therefore need to cook them twice: first in a skillet to brown the exterior and then in the oven on a sheet pan to properly cook the interior.
3. Garlic
It’s an essential ingredient, but don’t overuse it in case it steals the show and overwhelms your taste buds. You only need a touch of garlic: 1/8 of a teaspoon (0.5 ml).
4. Parmesan
For a more gourmet look, opt for finely grated cheese everywhere, but also large curls that’ll be a joy to bite into!
5. Oils
To ensure your dressing has a good balance of flavour, go for equal parts olive oil, for its rich taste, and vegetable oil, for its lightness.
6. Lettuce
Romaine hearts are the perfect choice for three reasons:
- their crunchy leaves
- they’re low in bitterness
- they can withstand the dressing much better than the dark green outer leaves.
For a more rustic look, tear the lettuce by hand at an angle, from each side to the centre.
7. Egg yolks
The Caesar dressing requires two yolks, for a better hold and the perfect level of creaminess.
