Ingredients
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic peeled divided
- 3/4 cup full fat mayonnaise
- 3 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or more to taste
- salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Shrimp Caesar Salad Ingredients
- 3-4 romaine hearts washed and torn into bite-size pieces
- 1-2 cups homemade garlic croutons
- 1 pound of cooked medium shrimp shelled
- 1/3 cup parmesan flakes
- fresh lemon juice to top if desired
Instructions
How to Make the Caesar Salad Dressing
- Combine all of the dressing ingredients into a container that you can use an immersion or hand blender in to mix the ingredients. Alternatively, you can place this all in your blender.
- Process and blend all of the ingredients together, adding in more garlic and lemon to taste if you want. (I am Ukrainian so there is always room for more garlic!) Set aside
Assembling the Shrimp Caesar Salad
- Place the lettuce in a large bowl.
- Toss with the dressing until the lettuce is coated completely.
- Top with the cooked shrimp, croutons and the Parmesan. I do NOT mix it in because as you know, they all go to the very bottom!
- Right before serving, mix the toppings into the top layer of lettuce, not the bottom, just slightly so that you have a layer of toppings for everyone to dig into.
Notes
- This is NOT the traditional Caesar salad as that one uses egg yolks and oil as the base, not mayo. This however is my VERY favorite Caesar salad!
