Caesar Salad

Directions

1. 1
   In a blender, whiz up first 6 ingredients then slowly drizzle olive oil in while blender is still running to make a creamy emulsion.
2. 2
   Some people like to add an egg yolk at this time, but that is up to you.
3. 3
   Chill dressing in blender carafe for at least 20 minutes to 1 hour. Whiz up to mix again and taste and make any adjustments.
4. 4
   Assemble torn lettuce and coutons and bacon in very large bowl.
5. 5
   Then adding dressing a bit at a time and tossing until coated.
6. 6
   Present with a little more cheese and pepper if desired.
7. 7
   my secret touch: I cube and toast any left over bread like sourdough, pumpernickle, italian - about 1 inch cubes.
8. 8
   I put in the oven and toast on a cookie sheet.
9. 9
   After I fry my bacon bits,, I reserve a tablespoon of bacon drippings in the frypan and add another tablespoon or so of butter and a little seasoning salt.
10. 10
    I toss the toasted bread cubes in the yummy drippings, right in the same pan as the bacon was made in and let cool a bit before tossing on salad -- these are buttery and yummy.
