Recipe for the dressing:
1. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing, except mayo, in a food processor and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the mixture to the mayo and stir.
3. In a salad bowl combine the lettuce and the croutons, add as much dressing as desired, toss and serve.
4. Store the rest of the dressing for future use. Garnish with Parmesan shavings.
Tip: To add some twist to your salad, try to make some herb croutons from several kinds of bread, or use diced prosciutto instead of bacon bits.
If you run a restaurant you simply can't avoid having Caesar salad in your menu, because it is so popular. One of the few things you can do to stand out from the rest is to have your own, house made Caesar dressing.
