Caesar Salad with Parmesan Crisp

I’ve mentioned in the past that my son, William, is my biggest critic! Our food exchanges can be hilarious. Funny thing is, I always try harder when I know he’s coming over for dinner. This night Dad took dinner to him and this is what he felt about it…How do you improve on perfection? You can’t with a traditional caesar dressing-the parmesan, garlic, anchovies, worcestershire sauce, lemon and olive oil. It’s so easy to make and is simply delicious. Even if you do not like anchovies, you probably do if you’ve ever thoroughly enjoyed a freshly made caesar salad in a restaurant. So, I’ll show you how I make mine and toss it together with romaine, homemade croutons and parmesan crisps for the crowning touch.To save a little time, I make the parmesan crisps in advance and then I hide them from my husband. Truth be told, I make an extra one for myself because they are so stinking delicious! That’s our little secret though. I then make the croutons and I start out with fresh bread from the bakery. I find that it soaks up the garlic oil and crisps beautifully. So making the parmesan and croutons can both be done ahead of time and both are so easy to do! Now it’s time for the caesar dressing. I throw all the ingredients into the food processor and then…Arrange the greens on a beautiful serving platter and add sliced steak or salmon fillets and then sprinkle on some chopped anchovies. Crown the salad with the parmesan crisps and serve with grilled lemon halves. Doesn’t get much better than that!
