Part 3/8:
Gathering Ingredients for the Original Caesar
Recreating Cardini's original Caesar salad involves using fresh, simple ingredients that allow each element to shine. Here’s what you need:
Croutons: Roughly two cups of cubed day-old Italian bread, two cloves of crushed garlic, and three to four tablespoons of olive oil.
Dressing: Two cloves of crushed garlic, two-thirds cup of extra virgin olive oil (preferably imported from Italy), a quarter cup of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, two medium heads of romaine lettuce, a half teaspoon of kosher salt, one large egg yolk, the juice of one lime, and two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.
