Health benefits of Caesar Salad

Romaine lettuce contains chromium, which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by making insulin more efficient. The chromium in romaine lettuce also promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
7 dashes black pepper
1/4 tsp kosher salt
9 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce (7 drops)
1 lemon yields lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, mashed
3 cups garlic
2 heads romaine lettuce inner leaves
16 oz italian bread loaf

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).

2. Cut 1/2 to 3/4" croutons from (day old) loaf of bread and place on a baking sheet and put into the oven until dry but not browned.

3. Use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic with 4 tablespoons of oil and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Strain the oil into a skillet over medium heat.

4. Add the dried croutons and fry, tossing constantly until all of the oil is absorbed and the croutons turn gold. Set aside.

5. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the eggs and cook for 1 minute. Chill in ice water to halt cooking. Set aside.

6. In a very large bowl, tear lettuce and toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining kosher salt and the black pepper. Add the remaining olive oil. Toss well.

7. Add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Break in the eggs. Toss until a creamy dressing forms. Toss in parmesan cheese and serve with croutons.
