The ingredients in this classic recipe are inarguably impressive and authentic. The ingredient proportions however, are a bit vague. As an experienced restaurant chef familiar with the recipe, I had a good head start. I used 1 head torn romaine lettuce and my own homemade croutons (recipe coming soon). I mashed 4 garlic cloves first and allowed them to steep in the the olive oil overnight for a full-rounded flavor. One teaspoon Worcestershire sauce worked for me, as well as 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. I also added 1/4 teaspoon sugar to cut the tang a bit. The end result was fantastic. This recipe deserves 5 stars -- despite its general vagueness! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will never use another Caesar salad recipe as long as I live! Made for PAC Spring 2010.
