Tonight's salad was an excellent choice for this week's menu. After two nights of meat dishes, it was very refreshing to have a non-meat dinner. Plus, the homemade Caesar salad dressing made this salad perfect!Ingredients:
1 head romaine lettuce
2 cups croutons, divided
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon-style mustard (we used a creole-style mustard)
1 lemon, juiced
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
We also added a cucumber to the salad
Directions:
1) Clean and chop lettuce, set aside.
2) Crush 5 or 6 of the croutons in a deep mixing bowl. Add the garlic, mustard, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Blend thoroughly in a mixer and slowly add olive oil until creamy.
3) Pour dressing over the lettuce, add parmesan, remaining croutons, toss and enjoy.

Jared's exact words tonight were, "this salad is better than any Caesar Salad that I have ever had in a restaurant." (WOW)!

I was nervous about the mustard substitution, but it turned out great. The garlic was amazing! The salad was refreshing and crunchy!
We'll definitely make this again -- maybe with chicken next time! (I will probably share this for our holiday party at work)!
