Caesar Salad

SERVES: 4

Crisp romaine lettuce is easily transformed into our fresh-tasting Caesar Salad. Our Test Kitchen's homemade Caesar Salad dressing beats bottled by a mile!

What You'll Need

1 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups croutons (See Notes)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (2-ounce) can anchovies in oil, drained

What to Do

In a large bowl, combine romaine and croutons; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, the garlic, salt, and pepper; whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add dressing to lettuce and croutons; toss to coat well.
Top with anchovies and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

This can be turned into a chicken Caesar salad meal by arranging the salad on plates and topping with strips of grilled boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.

Shrimp?? Where does it say anything about shrimp? Did you just add it on a whim? Curious. Sounds good through.
