Ingredients

The Dressing

  • 6 Anchovy Fillets (drained) 
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  •  Sea Salt
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice 
  • 3/4 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 tbsp Emborg Grana Padano (finely grated)
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper

The Croutons

  • 3 cups Torn 1" Piece Country Bread

The Cheese

  • Emborg Grana Padano (for serving)

Caesar salad is one of Emborg's favorite salads. Try it! 

The Dressing

Chop together anchovy fillets, garlic, and pinch of salt. Use the side of a knife blade to mash into a paste, then scrape into a medium bowl.

Whisk in egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard. Gradually whisk in olive oil, then vegetable oil and whisk until dressing is thick and glossy.

Whisk in grated Emborg Grana Padano.

Season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice, if desired.

The Croutons

Make your own. Tearing the bread ensures nooks and crannies that catch the dressing and add texture. Preheat oven to 200 °C. Toss bread with olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 10–15 minutes.

The Lettuce

Use whole leaves as they provide the ideal mix of crispness, surface area, and structure.

The Cheese

Use a vegetable peeler to thinly shave a modest amount of Emborg Grana Padano on top.

The Assembly

Gently toss the lettuce, croutons, and dressing and then top off with the shaved Emborg Grana Padano. 

Enjoy!
