Caesar Salad Recipe Eggless

I once dated a someone who, without fail and regardless of the restaurant we went to, would order Caesar Salad as an appetizer, if at all possible.

Back then, I didn’t get the appeal of Caesar Salad. At all. Firstly, I was borderline mayo-phobic and secondly, I associated lettuce with starvation and sadness. So you could bet your ass that I wasn’t gonna be ordering what I thought of then as “diet food”, slathered in glooby, fatty dressing. Thankfully, my attitudes to food have changed since those days of food fear.

And after making the crispy, crunchiest grain free croutons recently to top my Tomato-Less Tomato Soup, I knew just what to do with them next. It was time to tackle the eggless Caesar salad!!

Simple Caesar Salad With Egg Free Caesar Dressing

At it’s heart, the Caesar is the simplest of salads. Crunchy-fresh romaine, creamy anchovy-kissed dressing, crisped croutons and a whisper of parmesan. I had most of these things covered. Lettuce? Check. Yucan Crunch croutons? Yup. My nut free take on Parmesan sprinkles? Nailed.

What I needed next was a dressing that could bring it all together. But here’s the harder part: not only did I want the Caesar dressing to be creamy, rich and dairy free, I also wanted to keep the egg out of the mix to make this an AIP friendly recipe, too. Oh, and I also wanted to avoid coconut products. No biggie, right?!

I know, I know. I feel like I’ve had a burst of energy this almost-Spring and apparently, that’s made me tackle my list of most-difficult-to-make-allergy-friendly recipes all at once. But the good news is that this Eggless Caesar Salad is a success! The trick to a coconut and dairy free Caesar dressing is to let the garlic do all the talking… and the emulsifying.

Usually, it’s the egg in Caesar dressing that’s forcing all the water and oil to hang out together so well, when they really don’t wanna be at the same food party. Here, by the magic that is an immersion blender and the secret emulsifying properties of garlic, the egg is no longer needed to bring together a thick and creamy dressing.

A word of warning, however: you’ll want to make this Eggless Caesar Salad dressing just before you use it. Over time, the emulsification will break down, meaning that after a night in the fridge, the dressing will thin and eventually separate. So to keep your dressing light-yet-rich, thick-yet-fluffy and totally delicious, make sure to whip it up right before serving.

I need to get my butt to the store because I ran out of lemons, but my theory is that it would all hold together much longer without the anchovies. So one answer to a longer lasting dressing might be to make it without the anchovies, keep it in the fridge ’til you want it and

Whatever oil you use, you don’t want it to overpower the dressing. This is definitely not the time for cold pressed avocado oil! Use a very mild, neutrally flavored avocado oil, like this one, or a very mild olive oil, like this one.

A quick anchovy guide: add 1 anchovy for a mild, subtle flavor, 2 for a dressing with a bit more bite and 3 if you really like anchovies!

The Caesar Dressing is best used immediately. Over time, the emulsion will break down and then separate, so it’s best to make just before you’re planning to use it.

* Chilling the anchovies, lemon juice and oil in the fridge ahead of time gives more consistent results than using ingredients with different temperatures.

* Make sure that the immersion blender is at the bottom of the container and that you blend from the bottom of the container first. This helps incorporate the oil a little at a time, which makes for the best, thickest emulsion.

* Measure the oil directly into the blending container, using an electronic scale. It’s more accurate and helps keep the proportions right.

The part of this I’ve always loved, the little snippet of truth in this mess my mind has made, is the creation. It’s the making of something from nothing, turning an idea into a tangible thing and then again into something intangible in the form of a photograph.I’m thinking Caesar Salad is one of the most common salads ever made in Canada. Well, it certainly is one of my family’s favorite. My husband likes when his salads are really garlicy. I’m a little more reserved. Whatever your preference, Caesar Salad is a fantastic salad to serve at camp, at a BBQ or as the main course with a side of grilled chicken.

Growing up, my Caesar salad was made with imitation bacon bits, a bottle of Kraft dressing and a bag of store bought croutons. Sure there’s absolutely nothing with that in a pinch, but oh the possibilities! At the very least, I decided to make my own salad dressing. It may not be a true Caesar salad dressing recipe as it does not use raw eggs nor will you find anchovies in this recipe. I love it all the more for these reasons. One batch of this homemade Caesar salad dressing is good for at least two large salads, or more, depending on how generous you are coating the lettuce.

Firstly: the romaine lettuce. This is usually pretty standard. (I think? Any one ever use something different?) Tear it, cut it, grill it. Whichever method you prefer. Some people cut their head of lettuce in half and serve it up on a plate. I could never do that to a guest. Make a person use a knife to eat their salad? Well, maybe if I was in a less then pleasant mood. But I’m also told, it’s all in the presentation.

My three other mandatory ingredients in a Caesar salad include croutons (of some sort), parmesan cheese (extra, sprinkled on top) and of course BACON! Now growing up, my mom preferred to use imitation bacon bits. If I know I’m going to be serving Caesar salad to guests, I’ll precook some bacon so it’s ready for the salad bowl. I’ve recently been introduced to Epicure’s Smokey Bacon Topper. Yum-O. When I’m looking for a short cut, this is the way I go. It’s tiny bursts of bacon flavor in each bite. And get this?? It’s made from soy bacon so it’s actually vegetarian friendly!!

My last little secret for my Caesar salad is I don’t use regular croutons. Instead, I reach for a bag of Twistos. My friend Kerri told me about this little secret. I love it because Twistos are light and crunchy, but not as crunchy as the typical crouton. I guess if I made homemade croutons, I wouldn’t have that problem. However, until I master that skill, I will continue to reach for a bag of Twistos. For those willing to try making your own croutons, Killing Thyme Eat-Zine has a lovely tutorial.
