Instructions:

As the story goes, Caesar salad was invented by Caesar Ritz to commemorate
the opening of his grand hotel. It has become America’s favorite salad.
Don’t omit the anchovies in the dressing: They don’t taste fishy and add
lots of flavor.

1. For croutons: Heat oven to 350º F. Cut bread into 1/2” squares. Toss
with oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet; bake 6-8 minutes until golden
brown. (Croutons may be made up to one day ahead.)

2. For salad: In a food processor, process garlic, mayonnaise, anchovy
fillets, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Add olive oil
and 2 tbs cheese; blend to combine.

3. Toss lettuce with dressing until evenly coated. Divide on plates; top
with croutons and remaining Parmesan cheese.
