I love caesar salad and I make my own dressing because all of the bottled stuff is just loaded with all kinds of junk. I don't do the traditional caesar where you use a raw egg because I need it to keep in the fridge longer, since we only use a little each time. And yes, I know caesar salad does not have tomatoes, but whose blog is this anyway?
1 T. mayonnaise
1 t. Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, smashed
6 anchovies
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 t. coarse salt
¼ t. pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan
Place all ingredients except the oil and cheese in a food processor and blend. Slowly start adding the oil until dressing is creamy. Add the parmesan and pulse a few times to incorporate.
For the chicken, I just use a little of the dressing as a marinade and then grill it (flatten it to even thickness first). I use a good romaine, green leaf, or other lettuce, some cherry or grape tomatoes, and croutons. Toss with a little dressing, top with grilled chicken, and you have a great dinner!
