Caesar Salad Pitas With Lightened Up Caesar Dressing
- 1 whole Hard Boiled Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 4 cloves Garlic (very Finely Minced)
- 1 Tablespoon Spicy Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1/3 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 head Romaine Lettuce, Washed And Chopped Into 2" Pieces
- 4 Whole Wheat Pita Pockets
- 1/3 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Croutons
- Peel the egg and remove the yolk. Add the cooked yolk, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic, spicy mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, pulsing as you go. You may not need all the olive oil; the dressing should be thick enough to coat the leaves of lettuce without clumping. You can test this by dipping a piece of the Romaine into the dressing after adding half of the olive oil.
- Put the lettuce into a medium sized bowl, pour the dressing over it and toss to combine. (You should have some dressing left over; this makes plenty.)
- Slice each pita pocket in half and stuff each half with 1/8 of the Caesar salad. Sprinkle each with the Parmesan cheese and then dot with the croutons.
