>>course: Salad
>>note: You can make the croutons and dressing ahead of time so the salad is like, 3 minutes to make
>>note: Garlic Oil
Peel @garlic cloves{3} and place in bowl of #blender or food processor{} and mince
with the motor running, add @oil{1 1/4 c} and process until milky
Move the oil into a separate container and slightly scrape out the bowl with the rubber scraper.  You don't have to wash it before making the dressing.

>>note: Croutons
Preheat oven to 350
Cut @bread{half loaf, 4-5 slices} into 5/8" cubes.  Big meaty cubes, not those dinky little cubes you get everywhere else.
Drizzle a couple tbl of the garlic oil on a #cookie sheet{}, put the bread on, drizzle another couple tbl over it. 
Bake for ~{12 minutes}, until just golden, turning halfway.  Watch them the last few minutes as they turn quickly.
Remove from oven promptly and let cool.  
When they're completely cool -- a couple hours -- they will stay fresh in a zip-loc for weeks.

>>note: Dressing
With the blender / food processor off, put in the bowl: the @egg{1}, @Worcestershire{1 tbl}, @dry mustard{1/2 tsp}, @anchovy paste or anchovy {about 1 tsp}, @black pepper{1 tsp}, and @salt{1/2 tsp} if you like extra salt

Have ready: the remaining 1c of garlic oil, #1 tbl measuring spoon{}, @Balsamic vinegar{1 tbl}, @White vinegar{2 tbls}

Turn on the food processor / blender.  
Slowly drizzle 1/3 of the oil in - it'll take you maybe ~{10 seconds}.  
Now alternate the vinegars and the remaining thirds of the oil. You can stop the machine before adding vinegar, but have it running when you add the oil.
Stop & scrape down the bowl, process another second or two. It should have the consistency of mayonnaise.

>>note: Salad
Do not have ready: bacon bits!! Caesar Salad does not have bacon bits. Spinach salad does.

Cut the @romaine{1 head} into 1" pieces. Yes, I know you're supposed to tear.  Fuck that.  Chop the base parts of the leafs finer than the tops.  Place in #big salad serving bowl{}.
Pour half of the dressing over and toss until every piece has some dressing
Sprinkle maybe 1 cup of croutons and @parmesan cheese{1/4 cup} over top (or romano if you're snobby.)

Even if you're just a little snobby, grind a little @black pepper{} over the top.
