I couldn't find a single Caesar salad recipe I liked, so I combined ingredients from a few recipes and came up with this one, shares Kathy Keleher of Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The addition of fruit gives this salad such a wonderful flavor. You could use a mango or mixed dried fruit instead of an apple or a pear. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 garlic cloves, peeled, divided |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
2 cups cubed french bread |
4 teaspoons lemon juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups torn romaine |
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese |
1 medium apple or ripe pear, diced |
Directions:
1. For croutons, combine 2 tablespoons oil, one garlic clove and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a bowl; let stand for 1 hour. Strain oil and discard garlic. Toss bread cubes the oil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool.
2. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and remaining oil and salt. Mince remaining garlic; stir into dressing.
3. Place romaine in a salad bowl; drizzle with dressing. Add the croutons, Parmesan cheese and apple; toss to coat. Yield: 2 servings.
