Ceasar Salad Crostini's

Crisp, garlicky crostini piled with a bright Caesar-dressed romaine: this is the appetizer that disappears first. A homemade dressing built on our Garlic Infused Olive Oil brings the savory, emulsified richness that makes a Caesar sing.

Ingredient Spotlight. Our Garlic Infused Olive Oil is the backbone of this dressing, whisking into a silky, garlic-forward emulsion that clings to every leaf. A mild extra virgin olive oil for toasting the baguette keeps the base clean and buttery.

Ingredients

Crostini:

• 1 Baguette - sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 3/4 cup of Mild Extra Virgin Olive Oil- such as NCOO Chiquitita

Salad Dressing:

• 1/2 cup NCOO Garlic Infused Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon juice fromNCOO Garlic Infused Olive Oillemon
• 4 anchovies
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Salad:

• 2 thinly chopped Romaine lettuce hearts

Instructions

1. Drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil on baguette slices and toast in the oven until golden brown. - Set aside
2. Make Salad Dressing: Combine egg yolk, lemon juice, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in the in a blender jar or container of a food processor and pulse to combine. With the processor running slowly drizzle in the garlic olive oil until a smooth emulsion forms. Season to taste generously with salt and pepper.
3. Toss your chopped romaine lettuce hearts in the Caesar dressing and top your baguette. Shave fresh Parmesan cheese and serve.

Chef's Notes

• With the food processor running, add the garlic olive oil in a slow, steady stream. That gradual pour is what gives you a thick, glossy emulsion instead of a broken dressing.
• Toast the baguette slices just until golden so they stay crisp under the dressed greens rather than turning soft.

Make It Yours

• Dress the crostini right before serving, or set the toasts and dressing out separately so guests can build their own and keep every bite crunchy.
• For a peppery twist, finish each crostini with a light drizzle of our Garlic Infused Olive Oil and an extra shave of Parmesan.
