Caesar salad



I know that there are tons of Ceasar salad recipes on the internet, and to be honest, I created my recipe out of several other ones I found on the net. I changed some things though, for example I tired to make the dressing less greasy. I won't write a recipe for the salad, but just the things I changed which in the end resulted in a less heavy but absolutely delicious salad in no time. 

Everyone knows the ingredients: salad,  tomatoes, in my case thin slices of red onion, cucumber, chicken breast fried with some seasoning, croutons andthe dressing itself. 

If you make the croutons, it's best if you fry some chopped garlic in a bit of oil and then you fry the bread in it, it gives the bread a nice additional flavour. 
I completely left the egg yolk and the oil out of the dressing. I started with some lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce and mustard, I added some salt and pepper, and pour cream into it. I did this until the amount and the flavour was good enough. If you like anchovies, you can add some anchovy paste. Since I didnt have any at home, I poured some of the oil of the canned anchovies. But be careful, it has a strong taste! All of this together made a very nice caesar salad :)
