Spicy Caesar Salad
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
Spicy Caesar Dressing
- 1 large garlic clove smashed
- 4 anchovy filets
- 1 lemons zested and juiced
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 egg yolk
- 3-5 Calabrian chilies
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅓ cup neutral oil I used canola
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for serving
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
To serve
- romaine hearts
- spicy croutons*
Instructions
- To make the dressing, add garlic, anchovies, lemon zest, lemon juice, dijon, Worcestershire, egg yolk, chilis, and paprika to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Slowly blend in the oil to create an emulsion. Stir in parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle desired amount of dressing over romaine and toss to coat. Serve topped with more parmesan, black pepper, olive oil, and croutons.
Notes
*To make the spicy croutons, I just cube up some sourdough, drizzle it with olive oil, and just a touch of the Calabrian chili oil from the container. You don’t want to do only chili oil, as the croutons will be much too spicy. I season them with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. I toss everything to coat and bake them at 400ºF until golden.
