Caesar Salad by an Italian Immigrant Caesar Cardini

Caesar Salad Recipe
The standard Caesar salad legend credits the creation of the recipe no to the emperor Caesar but to an Italian immigrant, Caesar Cardini, proprietor of a restaurant in Tijuana. Presumably he tossed the first Caesar salad on the evening of July 4, 1924, when he was running low on food and assembled a salad for his guests from what was left over in the kitchen.
2 large garlic cloves
4 anchovies, rinsed, patted dry
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 head romaine lettuce, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish
In a mini-chopper process the garlic and anchovies into a paste. Add the lemon juice, mayonnaise and salt and process until smooth. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream and blend until emulsified. In a large bowl toss romaine with dressing and Parmesan and pepper to taste. Serves 6
