Brannon's Caesar Salad was introduced a few monthly dinner parties ago. A very chilly night with lots of wine, good conversation and delicious food. There were even candle sticks… how fancy is that? My favorite part of this recipe is the homemade croutons - they are such a fun addition!
Happy eating!

Brannon's Caesar Salad
2 hearts of romaine, washed and dried and torn into bite-size pieces
2 tblsp grated Parmesan cheese
Dressing
1 garlic clove - I used the minced garlic from Trader Joes
1/4 c white vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
A few dashes of Tabasco, to taste
Juice of half a lemon
1 tblsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp sugar
Chop garlic clove in a food processor, then add remaining ingredients and blend together. Or chop a garlic clove, drop it into the bottom of an old pickle jar or jelly jar, add everything else, and shake like crazy.
Croutons
4 c bread cubes
1 tblsp oilive oil
1 tblsp grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and then toss the frozen bread cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper and grated Parm. Bake until crispy and golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Toss the romaine lettuce with croutons, grated Parm and dressing.
