Best Caesar Salad you'll ever try!

I found this recipe a few years ago and I love it so much. I hope you will love it as much!

Serve: 4

Ingredients:

For the dressing:

2 TB lemon juice
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 raw egg
1 small clove of garlic that needs to be crushed
3 anchovies

For the salad:

Cos lettuce (you need about 4 to 6 cos lettuce leaves per person)
8 rashes of bacon (you need to fry it until crispy)
Anchovies (for those who like them on top of the salad!)
Bread croutons (you need about 6 to 8 croutons per person and you can make them in small pieces or larger if you wish - you will need to fry them in a little bit of olive oil in a pan until golden and this takes a few seconds only!)
4 free range eggs (poached)
2 chicken breasts (you need to half each fillet as it is enough per person - fry it)
Shaved parmesan

Make the dressing:

In a hand mixer put the lemon, the raw egg, the garlic and anchovies together and mix it.
Add the olive oil and mix again. The mixture has thickened a little.

Prepare the salad:

1. Cut the cos lettuce in smaller pieces. Then mix the dressing together.
2. Add the bread croutons around the place or on top.
3. Add your chicken breast on top, the poached egg, the crispy bacon, and the anchovies.
4. Top it all up with the parmesan.

You will love this recipe!
