Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) pasta
- 8 cups lettuce roughly chopped
- 4 slices ciabatta/sourdough bread cubed
- 1 cup Parmesan shavings
For the homemade caesar dressing
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 6 anchovies minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a medium bowl and mix well. You can also make the dressing in a food processor.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You want the dressing to be punchy in flavor and slightly over-seasoned as the lettuce, pasta and croutons are all relatively bland.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then add the tender pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes or until al dente.
- Drain and rinse with cold water then add to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the lettuce, croutons, parmesan shavings and dressing to the pasta and toss to combine then serve.
