CEASAR SALAD

eddyandme — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 15:06:53 GMT

Was just watching Pioneer Woman. She made a Ceasar salad using raw brussel sprouts which sounds like something I'd like to try.

However, in making the dressing - looked yummy! - she included two raw egg yolks. I'm wondering if raw eggs are considered safe. If you make your own dressing do you include raw yolks? If not, what do you substitute?

classic ceaser is make with raw egg yolk but surprised that someone would do that now , does she have her own chickens and knows where her eggs come from ?

I love a Kale Ceaser

I make my Caesar dressing using a Waring blender: Good Seasons Salad dressing (mixed), raw egg and can of anchovies. Blend! All done, easy peasy. Works as a great dip as well.

I've done Blue Cheese dressing the same way in a blender. Good Seasons, chuck of blue cheese, blend!

I use a three minute egg in my salad. Carefully drop egg into boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Take out with a slotted spoon and run it under cold water. When cool enough to handle, remove top of shell and scoop out egg.

The white will be partially cooked but I blend it into the dressing by whisking.

I would not use raw eggs. You can hard boil cook two eggs , then just scoop out the yolks when thy are still warm . Then mash the cooked yolks with a fork . Then add this to your dressing & mix well with a wire wisp . or Use very sm amt ( tablespoon ) of some miracle wip in your dressing instead of raw eggs.

I have used raw eggs in making Caesar salad dressing and never had a problem. If you listen to Rachel Ray, she doesn't even refrigerate eggs at all. I think it all falls back to what you were raised with and the availability to fresh eggs. You need to do you. I'm ok with raw eggs if I have faith in the restaurant I am eating at but if not, I won't order a Caesar salad.

@eddyandme No raw egg yolks are not safe. But she can do that because she has her chickens.Don't do it please!! The t.v. cooks ought to think before they talk.

@mustang66lady Farm fresh eggs don't have to be refrigerated, but once they are they, have to remain refrigerated. And if I heard Raphael Ray correctly she has her own chickens . A very big difference. The eggs are safe if you have your own chickens.

My boss told me that in most counties, eggs are kept at room temperature. When she was in the UK, they kept eggs room temps for several weeks. Only in the U.S., they are kept in the refrigerator. Whenever you cook using eggs, they should be close to room temperature. You shouldn't cook them cold. It affects the baking time. If an egg is cold, cook them with in two hours of taking them out. I let them sit out for a bit after they are taken out of the fridge.

In our neighborhood there is a convent where the nuns raise chickens (you can hear that rooster several times a day) They are kept in a cool area, but not refridgerated.

If you get farm fresh eggs that has NOT been washed you do not need to refrigerate them. They have a natural protective layer on the shell.

However, eggs from the store have been washed those MUST be refrigerated. The protective layer has been washed off.

"They" (whoever that is) say that any raw egg is dangerous. Im not so sure I believe this. I have eaten raw batters and Caesar Salads with raw eggs all my life and I have never gotten sick, my kids did too.

I saw eggs in the grocery store that are pasteurized in the shell----that would work or how about an egg substitute

Re: CEASAR SALAD

BeccaLou — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 22:35:07 GMT

@wagirly Yes that 's what would alot safer, the egg substitute is only thing I trust for french toast, potato pancakes, and homemade icecream.

@wagirl I haven't made homemade egg nog in years and it is so good. This year I am going to try it with egg substitute. Egg substitute is really good for scrambled egg , so I think it should be good in egg nog.

Just wondering - Why are raw egg yolks safe if they come from your own chickens but not from store-bought eggs?

@BeccaLou

I don't recall Rachael saying she has her own chickens but I do think she has stated she knows the person whom she purchases eggs from and their freshness. That is an interesting statement that once eggs are refrigerated, they must continue to be. I have never not refrigerated eggs even when I know who they come from. Just not a habit I was raised with but I don't freak out over raw eggs either if I am confident with the person using those eggs. Thanks for sharing that tip!

My recipe for Caesar dressing uses mayonnaise instead of raw eggs. I think it's delicious.

Caesar Dressiing

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbs. bleu cheese

1 tbs. red wine vinegar

3 cloves minced garlic (I use roasted garlic)

1 tsp. lemon juice

1/4 tsp. dry mustard

1/4 tsp. anchovy paste (I use one-two canned anchovies)

salt if desired (I don't)

I add all ingredients into a measuring cup or mason jar and mix with an immersion blender. I add more cheese onto the salad when I prep it. This recipe makes more than enough for one head of Romaine lettuce. If I'm making a larger salad, I double the recipe. It lasts a good while in the fridge.

@BeccaLou---I used the egg subs for any years in my cooking as well as for egg nog--worked great

I thought romaine lettuce was not safe to eat right now.Recalls.

@ValuSkr Because there is some very unhealthy crowding conditions,chicken feed, if they even give them food. and the poor chickens are kept awake day and night and they literally stomp each other to death and are eating dead chickens,feces, and chicken feed if they are kept clean and the greed wasn't there we would have safe food every where. but that's the sickening truth.

@dex It seems like it's recalled at least once a month. So I never buy it, or ground beef either.
