• 0.33 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Anchovy paste
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the romaine lettuce hearts and pat them dry with a clean towel. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into thin slices and set aside.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside as well.

Step 4

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice each egg into quarters.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl or jar, prepare the Caesar dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Once smooth, set the dressing aside.

Step 6

Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the salad bowl, followed by the avocado slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and quartered hard-boiled eggs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salad with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and croutons for added crunch.

Step 8

Drizzle the homemade Caesar dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to break up the avocado or eggs.

Step 9

Divide the salad into four servings. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh California Caesar Salad with Eggs!
