Caesar salad with ham

After cutting off all the crusts from the baguette, cut it into medium cubes - they will make excellent crackers.

In a dry frying pan, fry the baguette cubes until crispy and slightly browned. When frying, stir the cubes constantly so that they are evenly fried on all sides. Then let the crackers cool completely.

Cut the ham into medium cubes - buy this product of the highest quality. Delicious ham will highlight the taste of the salad and make it original.

Cut cocktail tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes) in half - this way they will remain juicy.

Use piquant and mature hard cheese. Both Parmesan and other similar cheeses will do. Grate it on a medium-mesh grater to make cheese shavings.

Now it comes to the sauce - place the hard-boiled egg yolks in a medium container, squeeze the garlic into it through a garlic press and don’t forget to add mustard.

Grind the sauce until smooth, adding a portion of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper if desired. The sauce should be moderately thick; adjust the structure by adding a little more oil.

Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves with paper napkins to remove excess drops of water, tear them with your hands and place them in a deep plate.

Mix the greens with tomatoes, ham and cheese, pour over the sauce, sprinkle with croutons and you're done. Serve the delicious Caesar salad with ham and croutons to the table right away, don’t wait, otherwise the croutons won’t be as crunchy.
Enjoy your meal!
