Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup croutons (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • Optional: Anchovy fillets for added depth of flavor
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. finely grated Asiago cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and finely grated Asiago. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
  2. In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce with croutons. Gently toss the leaves to ensure even mixing.
  3. Drizzle the Asiago Caesar dressing over the salad. Using salad tongs, gently toss the salad to ensure that every leaf is coated in the dressing.
  4. Top the salad with a sprinkle of freshly grated Asiago cheese and optional anchovy fillets.

Notes

The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
