Caesar Salad Recipe

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place the egg in the boiling water for exactly 60 seconds only, drain, cover with cold water, and let return to room temperature.

Separate the romaine leaves from the core, discarding core, and tear or cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the arugula leaves in half, discarding the root ends. Put greens into a bowl of cold water and gently swish to clean. Spin greens dry in a salad spinner.

Rub the toast slices with the garlic halves. Reserve the garlic. Cut toast into bite-sized pieces.

Rub a large salad bowl with the garlic, then mash the garlic into a paste in the bottom of the bowl. Add the egg, lemon juice, olive oil, and mustard and whisk. Add the romaine, arugula, anchovies, toast, Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Toss gently. Serve at once.
