What's really special about this salad is that they make it table side, specially for you. I mean, they make the traditional Caesar Salad dressing, complete with the special bowl they rub garlic all over to the egg yolk as the base for the dressing, right next to you at the table! I even got to see the cute little anchovies as they got mashed into oblivion. It was seriously the most delicious salad I have ever had. And when I saw just how easy the dressing was to make, I knew I had to try it sometime at home.
Freshly tossed, but at the kitchen counter, not the table.
Now fast-forward about 3 years, and you will see me finally trying my hand at making my own Chicken Caesar Salad. Finally! Thanks to a one, Jamie Oliver, I now have a super yummy Caesar Salad recipe. It's not traditional, so you don't need a special "Caesar Bowl" that you rub garlic all over. But you do need a way to make a very nummy past of anchovies, garlic, and lemon zest. Yes, you read right. You will have to handle anchovies in all their oily, salty glory!
I got to make ciabatta, then turn around and make it into crispy croutons!
Did I mention that this recipe also breaks the traditional mode by adding bacon? Well, it has bacon. And lots of it! All in all, I highly recommend this recipe, even if it does mean busting open a whole can of anchovies. Really. You can do it!
Anchovies, garlic, and lemon. Oh my!
You can find a similar recipe here, but mine was really quick and easy because I got it off the Jamie Oliver 20 Minute Meals App for my iPhone. If you have access to this app, I highly recommend it! Sooooo much good stuff!
