Caesar Salad a La York
- 1 head romaine lettuce, washed, trimmed and soaked in ice water bath for at least 2 hours
- 12 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or more as necessary)
- 2 cups croutons
- 1 cup white mushroom, sliced
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 12 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 4 canned anchovy fillets, mashed
- 12 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Place all dressing ingredients in a 12 oz.
- jar with a lid and shake until totally blended, about 1 minute.
- Place jar in the refrigerator to thicken dressing, at least 30 minutes.
- Alternatively, whisk all ingredients together in the following order: egg and lemon juice until light and lemony in color, add olive oil a bit at a time and whisk until slightly thickened.
- Stir in remaining ingredients and let rest for 15 minutes to blend flavors.
- Remove Romaine from ice bath, slice leaves lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1 inch strips.
- THOROUGHLY dry Romaine in a salad spinner, or dressing will not adhere to the lettuce.
- Place lettuce in a large stainless steel mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 of the grated Parmesan.
- Add 1/2 of the dressing and toss using a folding motion with a slotted spoon.
- Repeat with remaining cheese and dressing.
- Romaine should look dry.
- There should not be any dressing lying in the bottom or running down the side of the bowl.
- If excess dressing exists, add more grated Parmesan to soak up dressing and toss again.
- Stir in sliced mushrooms and serve on chilled plates accompanied by croutons, freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese and fresh pepper.
