Gordon Ramsay Chicken Caesar Salad Recipe

When it comes to Gordon Ramsay's Chicken Caesar Salad, I've found that the key to getting it just right is in the quality of the chicken and how it's cooked – juicy on the inside with a beautifully crisp skin.
I take my time massaging the dressing into the romaine leaves, ensuring every leaf is coated in that creamy, tangy goodness.
What I adore about this recipe is its balance of simplicity and sophistication.

Ingredients
  
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Olive oil
  • Croutons
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Anchovies
  • Garlic
  • Lemon juice
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Dijon mustard
  • Egg yolks
  • Black pepper and salt
  • Grilled chicken or shrimp optional
Instructions
 
Step 1: Preparing Your Salad Base
  • Wash your lettuce thoroughly to ensure it's free from any dirt or debris.
  • Dry it completely because dressing clings best to dry leaves.
  • Tear the romaine into bite-size pieces for easy eating.
Step 2: Crafting the Perfect Dressing
  • Start with the anchovies; finely chop them or mash into a paste.
  • Whisk in minced garlic for a fragrant punch.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks vigorously, then start adding your olive oil slowly while you continue to whisk.
  • Once the base is thick and creamy, stir in lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
  • Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Step 3: Bringing It All Together
  • Toss the lettuce gently with enough dressing to coat the leaves evenly.
  • Sprinkle in the fresh Parmesan cheese, and give it a gentle mix.
  • Add the croutons and toss again to distribute them throughout the salad.
  • Top with slices of grilled chicken or shrimp for an extra protein kick.
