Aunt Janice's Caesar Salad

My aunt's Caesar Salad is a staple at every family meal.

Ingredients

3 Heads of Romaine lettuce, washed, dried and chopped
2 egg yolks (coddle the egg in water for 1 minute, then use only the yolk)
Salt and pepper, to taste (If you don't like salty food, eliminate the salt because of the anchovies and Parmesan cheese)
2 Tblsp Fresh Lime Juice
2-3 Tblsp Red wine vinegar
1 large clove of garlic, pressed
2 Tblsp Gulden's mustard (or 1 Tblsp Dijon mustard)
1 Tin of anchovies, mashed, with the oil
5-6 shakes of Lea & Perrins sauce
1-1/2 C Olive oil
1/4-1/2 C Grated Parmesan cheese
Croutons (Optional)

Directions
1. Combine the ingredients in the first portion of the recipe in a bowl using a whisk
2. Slowly add the olive oil, while whisking to make a creamy dressing
3. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and toss with lettuce to dress
4. Enjoy!
