ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons water

- 1 head romaine lettuce, washed, dryed and torn into 1-inch, pieces
- 1 cup crouton
- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- lemon slice
directions
- Place the first 9 ingredients in a blender, blend on high for 1 minute, taste and adjust as needed.
- Put the lettuce in a large bowl with the croutons and parmesan cheese.
- Pour most of the dressing over the salad and gently toss, add extra dressing if needed.
- Serve with lemon slices on the side.
- If making a smaller salad extra dressing will last for more than a week in the frig.
- Note.
- Since posting this several people have said it needed more garlic - garlic can vary in intensity - so start with 2 cloves, blend, then taste to see if it needs more. I've love strong garlic and this recipe usually has a bit of a bit.

Guilty pleasures! I love salads but don`t load the dressing. I did with this one and I enjoyed every bit! I didn`t top with the other 1/2 cup grated cheese. Did load it with fresh cracked pepper. I used fresh garden greens and added a sliced cucumber. And yes I did use anchovy`s. A must for Caesar dressing. Thank you! Made for ZWT 2011.

Very nice! My first attempt at caesar salad so this was fun. I made the recipe spot on except I subbed lemon pepper for the black pepper (great sub, I must say) and I used the anchovy paste option and threw in a dash of worcestershire as well. That said, I felt it was missing something and I'm not totally sure what - perhaps a little extra lemon juice and a few more dashes of worcestershire. I will certainly try this recipe again. I topped mine with a chicken breast and my hubby's with shrimp. Thanks for posting!
