Yes, its a crappy cell phone picture (can’t find the muf-fuh cord to my damn point and shoot), but the salad itself is easy as pie and almost as delicious.
Its your basic Caesar salad, minus the anchovies (because really? Who knew that anchovies were in the dressing?). Anyway. It also includes some kickass homemade garlic croutons.
Ingredients needed:
3 to 4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil (not cheap, or you’ll taste it)
2 tblsp lemon juice
2.5 tblsp mayo
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 cup or so of bread cubes (I just cut up a bit of baguette)
Romaine lettuce
First, whip out your food processor. Slap in the garlic and mince it up, then add in the olive oil. You want to blend them together for at least 30 seconds.
Now, pour your oil/garlic mixture through a fine strainer into a small bowl. Reserve both the garlic and the oil (NOW what we have here is garlic infused oil and the leftover garlic doesn’t have any bitterness).
Coat the bread cubes with the oil, and fry ‘em in a pan, turning a lot until toasted on all sides. Mmm. Croutons. Attempt to not eat them all while you finish the dressing.
For the dressing, combines the lemon juice, mayo, worcestershire, and half of the reserved minced garlic (you can toss the other half). Add in some pepper for the right kick. Mix it together well.
Toss it into your romaine (or other salad lettuce of choice) and top with a little shredded parmesan and what few croutons you may have left. End!

I blame swine flu for my loss of followers the last three days.
Granted, if you can’t deal with semi-silence for three point five days…well, stick with them there meme tumblrs who only reblog sepia toned pictures with lots of bokeh. They produce a lot more content than redneck Unimpressive.
Ranting aside, my immune system is a traitor. That is all, back to bed with myself.
