Grilled Caesar Salad
- 3 cups 1/2-inch cubes of country bread
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Yolk of 1 large hard-boiled egg
- 4 garlic cloves
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
- 3 heads (1 package) romaine hearts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus a 2-ounce piece for shaving
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Preheat a stovetop griddle that fits over two burners over medium-high heat.
- Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and toast in the oven, or scatter and toast on the griddle, until crisp throughout, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Combine the egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard in a minifood processor.
- Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed.
- With the processor running, pour 4 tablespoons olive oil through the feed tube to make a smooth dressing.
- Season with the salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the romaine hearts with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, brushing all over to coat evenly.
- Lay the romaine on the grill pan, cut side down.
- Grill just until marked and slightly wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange the grilled romaine on a platter.
- Drizzle most of the dressing over them, sprinkle on the grated cheese and croutons, and then drizzle the remaining dressing on top.
- Use a vegetable peeler to shave slivers of Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano all over the top of the salad.
