1

Prepare the ingredients: gather 3 romaine lettuces, 2 cans of smoked oysters, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, 7 garlic cloves, 2 egg yolks, 1 large lemon, 4 anchovy fillets, 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard, grain salt, and black pepper.

2

In a molcajete, mash 4 anchovy fillets and 7 garlic cloves with a pinch of grain salt to form a paste.

3

Add a splash of oil from the anchovies and the oil from the smoked oysters into the paste and mix well.

4

Transfer the paste to a bowl and add 4 teaspoons of Dijon mustard and the juice of the large lemon, mixing thoroughly.

5

Add 8 dashes of Worcestershire sauce and continue to mix well, preferably using a whisk or fork.

6

Slowly drizzle in 1/3 cup of olive oil while whisking to create an emulsion. If needed, you can use a jar to shake it until emulsified.

7

Once emulsified, season with grain salt and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed.

8

Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large bowl.

9

Add the prepared Caesar dressing to the romaine lettuce and toss well to coat the leaves evenly.

10

Finally, add the smoked oysters on top of the salad and drizzle a bit of the oil from the oysters over the salad.
