Caesar salad was invented in the early 1920s by Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef who owned a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. He moved to Tijuana from California to avoid Prohibition, and it was here, on July 4th, 1924, where Caesar is believed to have invented the Caesar Salad. We heard it was because a group of americans came in when he was about to close and he was out of food. This is what he came up with. Orignally it was the hearts and we are told possibly no anchives. 

1 egg yolk (room temp)

1/2 clove garlic mashed to a puree

1 anchovy mashed

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 teaspoon/1ml worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon/2ml dijon

1-2 dashes of tabasco sauce

1/4 cup/60ml olive oil

1/4 cup/45g grated parmigiana

Course ground pepper to taste

In a bowl add crushed garlic and anchovy, mash with a fork to combine.  Add egg yolk , lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, dijon, and tabasco.  Whisk to combine and the yolk gets thick.  Drizzle in oil while whisking and it get thick like mayo.  Add parmesan and pepper.  Add just enough to coat the lettuce leaves without “drowning” them.
