Caesar Salad Joy of Cooking

Times have changed, but the Joy of Cooking recipe for Caesar Salad remains the very best.
The problem is that “times have changed” and the iconic Joy of Cooking is not well known in the digital age. I just Googled the search terms Joy of Cooking Caesar Salad, but there were no links to the authentic cookbook or the author’s family who carry on the Joy name. Hopefully Irma Rombauer’s kin will publish her original recipe and give it the credit it so greatly deserves.

Meanwhile, here is our version of this heavenly salad:

P.S. We also like the restaurant version prepared table side at Assagios in Kailua, Hawaii.

    Hi. This is Megan from the Joy of Cooking. We now have an app for iPad (iPhone soon to come). We don’t publish most of our recipes online because we’re a small family business and can’t afford to give away our intellectual property. You can find info about the app here: http://www.joyofcookingapp.com and you can check out our website here: http://www.joyofcooking.com –no plain caesar salad on the site, but we do have a darn delicious version of it that we made with kale and radishes. Enjoy!

      Your joy of cooking caeser salad recipe is not the original. The original one was on page 80 and asked the reader to put thinly sliced garlic cloves into olive oil 24 hours prior. I wish I still had that book
