Here is a tasty Caesar salad that can be an addition to any Italian meal or as a main dish by adding chicken breast or shrimp, either way it is a total delight! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced |
1 egg yolks or 1 egg substitute |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 dash worcestershire sauce |
1 pinch pepper, ground |
1 cup olive oil, pure |
1/4 cup gorgonzola, crumbled, extra for garnish |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grtaed |
12 cups romaine lettuce, torn, lightly packed (about 2 heads) |
3/4 lb chicken breasts, shredded (optional) or 3/4 lb shrimp, peeled and cooked (optional) |
6 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for garnish |
Directions:
1. Put the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, egg yolk, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a blender and blend until well mixed.
2. While the machine running, add the olive oil, by drops, as the mixture emulsifies, in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated.
3. Pulse in the Gorgonzola to taste (the riper the cheese, the less you will need) and the Parmesan.
4. Scrape into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed. About 1 1/3 cups. (The dressing keeps, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.).
5. Put the lettuce in a bowl with the chicken or shrimp, if using. Pour the dressing over and toss well.
