This classic caesar salad<\/strong> with romaine lettuce, radicchio (for a pop of color) homemade croutons, Parmesan cheese, and rotisserie chicken is tossed with delicious homemade caesar dressing.\u00a0 The dressing is my family\u2019s own traditional caesar salad recipe which has been passed down over the generations. It\u2019s anchovy-free, quick and easy to make, and is a crowd pleaser, guaranteed to impress guests.<\/p>\n

Traditional caesar dressing relies on egg yolk for creaminess<\/h2>\n

Depending on where you come from, you may have experienced a creamy or non-creamy caesar dressing. However, a truly original caesar dressing contains olive oil, egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce, lemon, mustard, garlic and pepper. There is no mayonnaise, sour cream or yoghurt, despite how often restaurants serve this version. Contrary to what some may think, a creamier dressing is simply achieved by adding more egg yolks.<\/p>\n

\"Zutaten<\/a><\/p>\n

This caesar dressing recipe<\/strong> is made with an old family recipe (Aunt Ilse\u2019s Original Caesar Dressing<\/a>) and doesn\u2019t make the distinction of separating out the egg yolk from the white and uses dry mustard. However, dry mustard isn’t easy to find here in Germany, so I use either Dijon or grainy Dijon for my version. It\u2019s one of my favourite salad dressings, one they gets made over and over again. So, if you are looking for an easy caesar salad dressing recipe, this is it!<\/p>\n

Brilliant rotisserie crouton inspiration<\/h2>\n

The idea for the croutons baked with the chicken skin isn’t actually a fantastic, original idea of mine. Instead, it was inspired by the food writer and cookbook author Melissa Clark.<\/a> She makes a mixed vegetable roasted chicken salad with croutons baked this way and it’s absolutely brilliant! Especially, since the skin is what some consider the best part of rotisserie chicken — so why toss it! And, since both the cubed bread and the skin are baked in the oven, it gives the chopped up pieces of skin a chance to crisp up as the croutons get their characteristic crunch.<\/p>\n
