Equipment
- 1 Preserving jar
Ingredients
- 4 Slices Toast
- 4 tbsp Virgin olive oil
- 1 head of Iceberg lettuce
For making the dressing
- 4 tbsp Vinegar
- 2 tbsp White balsamic vinegar
- 4 tbsp Worcester-gravy
- 10 tbsp Cold Water
- 1 pinch Freshly grounded pepper
- 2 cloves garlic Crushed down
- 4 tbsp Oil
- 6 Anchovy tenderloins
Instructions
Dressing preparation
- Add Vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, Worcester-gravy, cold water, garlic, pepper, and oil in an empty preserving jar.
- Cut the anchovy fillets into tiny pieces and mix them into the sauce. Season the whole sauce to your taste with pepper or, if necessary more vinegar or water.
- Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously.
Topping preparation
- Place the toast on a cutting board and cut off the crust beforehand. Cut it into small cubes and store in a well-sealed bowl so that it won't dry out.
- Cut the bacon into small strips and keep them in a well-sealed bowl in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Final preparations before serving
- Wash the iceberg lettuce in cold water and drain thoroughly.
- Place the already pre-made toast cubes on a cutting board and drizzle with two tablespoons of mild olive oil. Allow soaking in a little.
- Roast in a non-stick pan, over not too high heat, until crispy and light brown. Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
- Again, fry the bacon in a coated pan, without adding any more fat, until crispy. Remove, and layout on a layer of paper towels to degrease.
- Tear the lettuce into small, bite-sized pieces and place them on individual salad plates. Pour the salad marinade on top.
- Sprinkle the Caesar salad with toasted bread cubes, bacon cubes, and finally the Parmesan cheese shavings on top of the salad.
