Step 1: Make the dressing

  • 6 of baby gem lettuce
  • 4 slices of bread (1 inch or 2.2 cm cubes)
  • 15 g parmesan reggiano cheese
  • 1 tin of anchovie fillets
  • 400 g smoked bacon
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 250 ml sunflower oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3 tbsp shallot vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 egg plus 2 extra egg yolks
  • 55 g grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 bowl for the salad
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 measuring jug
  • 1 chopping board

Step 2: Make the croutons

After cutting the bread into cubes place them in a bowl and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and back pepper and then stir with hands until they are lightly coated with oil. Lay the croutons on a baking tray and sprinkle with half the parmesan cheese. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees or gas mark 2 and bake for 10 minutes and remember to check them regularly. When golden, take them out and drain on some kitchen roll.

Step 3: Fry the bacon

Cut the bacon into lardons. This is done by 1st removing the skin from outside then cutting the bacon half an inch or 2.2.cms along the length of it and then repeating it the other way. They should be roughly the same size as your croutons. Now fry the bacon – you do not need oil, there is enough fat in the meat already. When cooked drain the bacon with some kitchen towel.

Step 4: Add the anchovies

Take the anchovies, drain them well and chop them. Again make them into a similar size to the croutons.

Step 5: Mix the salad

Place half the lettuce, bacon, anchovies and croutons into a bowl . When this 1st layer is complete, repeat with the rest of your ingredients for a 2nd layer. A great Ceasar Salad doesn't need to be mixed together.

Spoon over some dressing & enjoy!

    That's weird--the anchovies are usually IN the dressing--not on top of the salad. Eewww.

    The person who is saying that is not really Italian is right. It is neither Italian nor is it a ceasare salad> Some of your other recipes have been spot on, but this on is out to lunch. Who can eat whole anchovies?/???
