A recipe for a tasty and simple Caesar salad with chicken
Ingredients:
- lemon - 0,5;
- red wine vinegar natural - 2 tbsp. spoons;
- Dijon mustard - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
- egg yolks of chicken - 2 pcs. (or quail - 8 pieces);
- Worcestershire sauce ready (if found) - 1 h. Spoon;
- olive oil of the first cold pressed - 50 ml;
- garlic - 2 cloves;
- white or rose wine Martini - 1 tbsp. a spoon:
- salt.
Preparation
Mix all the liquid ingredients of the sauce, add the salt and the garlic, squeezed gently with whisk and after 10 minutes filter through a strainer (which, incidentally, is not necessary). If you use chicken eggs, you should be sure that there is no Salmonella in the laying hen, so it's better to quail. Sauce in the Caesar salad should be a lot, it's an American style.
Without Worcester sauce, you can in principle dispense, Dijon mustard can be replaced with Russian, only it needs 3 times less. Insufficient density can be corrected by starch. Some include anchovies in the Caesar salad (sometimes they are added to the sauce in grated form), which is not necessary, this is just one of the options.
To prepare a white sauce for Caesar salad with chicken, replace the red wine vinegar with a light one. Wine, of course, use only white.
