This Caesar salad is so easy and delicious. You’ll be making it over and over again. I like to make my own croutons, but you can of course use a storebought. As for the dressing, this one is so delicious. You will never go back to storebought. I use anchovies, but honestly, you can leave them out if you don’t like them, or you can use anchovi paste. But listen, if you make this dressing right, it will not taste fishy. So, don’t be scared. Use those anchovies. It’s going to taste great. I like to make everything in a wooden bowl, but of course you can use an immersion blender to make this dressing. Just make sure to add the olive oil very slowly if you’re using an immersion blender. I also use baby romaine lettuce, but you can just have a regular romaine lettuce and chop it up however you like it. I also love to top it with some more shaved parmesan because you can never have enough parmesan. Give this a try and make sure to
