This Caesar salad is the same recipe we made at a very fancy restaurant while I was in college. The best part of the job was making tableside dishes, including this Caesar salad which is the best I’ve ever had.

Recipe Tip
If you have trouble getting the anchovies to mash, add a couple of croutons. The hard edges of the croutons cut into the anchovies.
