So, I made this recipe today and everyone loved it! It's really good you guys. Even my 14-year-old brother, who hates veggies, devoured it like it was his favorite! Had a little fun with it adding some mangoes for a little sweetness. 10/10 would do it again!

I made this dressing last night and it was the best caesar salad I’d ever had at home - thank you for this recipe!

i wonder if the people complaining about him using too much salt realize that kosher salt and table salt aren't equivalent. that is totally a reasonable amount of diamond kosher salt (the brand they use). Here are the equivalents: 1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt = roughly 1 1/4 teaspoons Morton’s kosher salt = roughly 1 3/4 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt

so it takes almost 2x as much diamond kosher salt to equal 1 tsp of table salt.

It's really not a lot of salt. It's a technique commonly used to add small amounts of salt throughout each layer of a dish. I mean if you think about store bought Caesar dressing, look at the nutrition label and you'll find much more salt in those.

Learning to make this dressing saved my night.

I am definitely going to try and make my own. I ALWAYS get one before a fine steak.

[jamesdooling]

Look at the crunchy crystals in that Parmesan!!! That was the good stuff.

[suzansh]

Is that a ban marie style dressing🎉?!!
You are the only ones who did a ban marie finally

Tosses salad with hands and uses tong to plate it 😂

[klaidas]

I'd love to toss some salad hands no hands with this guy.

pouring a small amount of milk over the croutons before you bake them give them some nice additional depth

[Rachels_Composure]

Garlic powder baked into the croutons makes a big difference

Will you please do a good tomato soup and just for the fun of it grilled cheese?

[thehorrendousspacekablooie]

The only thing I worry about is that the salt content seems through the roof. You take 6 anchovies (very salty), add it to the chopped garlic (and then put more salt on), & then do the dressing up (and add more salt).

Why not just whisk the dressing in the large stainless steel bowl first, then add the romaine, croutons, etc eliminating an extra dirty bowl? Lovely recipe.

[MachelTheDestroyer]

I prefer this to Molly's recipe because lettuce shouldn't be grilled.

[windella]

I HATE it when the lettuce is large on a salad!

[BarbicideSmoothie]

Thank you soo very much!👏🏻
I'm making this tonight!

[forkedintheroad]

Did you add egg yolks to the dressing? I didn't see you cook, is it okay to serve raw egg in this fashion?
