Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1/2 anchovy
- 5 ml worcestershire sauce
- 120 ml sunflower oil
- salt,black pepper
- 10 g dijon mustard
- 1 romaine lettuce
- 1 sandwich loaf
- 1 tin tuna
Instructions
- First of all,place the egg yolk in a mixing bowl, add mustard, and whisk until well combined. Caesar salad dressing is a type of mayonnaise but thinner in consistency.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously. As you whisk, the dressing will start to thicken. The consistency should be thinner than mayonnaise.
- Add lemon juice, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Let the dressing rest in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld. Meanwhile, prepare the croutons. Cut the bread into cubes, lightly coat with oil, season, and bake at 180°C until golden brown.
- Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and toss with the dressing.
- Add the croutons and tuna, mixing everything well.
- Finally, grate Parmesan cheese on top and serve.
Notes
Try Other Proteins: While tuna is great, you can also try grilled chicken, shrimp, or even a fried egg as your protein option for variety.
Customize the Croutons: Get creative with the croutons! Season them with garlic powder, paprika, or Parmesan before baking for extra flavor.
Dressing Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, simply thin it out with a little bit of water or extra lemon juice.
Anchovies: If you're not a fan of anchovies, you can use anchovy paste for a more subtle taste.
Tuna: For an extra boost of flavor, try using fresh tuna or grilled tuna instead of canned for a more refined taste.
