00:00Caesar salad with Napa cabbage? Hear me out. Don't be afraid of anchovy paste or
00:04real anchovies. They do not taste fishy and the whole point is to add that
00:08salty savory umami flavor that only these can add. Using mayonnaise instead
00:13of egg yolks is also a smart hack to prevent your dressing from breaking so
00:17it stays creamy. And please stop using dusty store-bought croutons. Just cube
00:22some bread you already have, coat it in some olive oil and garlic, and toast in
00:26the oven until golden and aromatic. I love traditional Caesar but if you
00:30don't eat that romaine lettuce right away it wilts and gets soggy. So for this
00:35twist, having a green that can still hold its crunch even when dressed is a huge
00:40bonus.
