prompter: Is there some ingredients that aren't needed? That's a lot of ingredients and I'm missing some.

assistant: Sure, here are some tips to advance your Caesar salad:
1. Considering adding a bit of minced anchovies to the dressing. As the primary flavors of Worcestershire sauce are tamarind and anchovies, anchovies can be added to further enhance the flavor as well as the umami of the dish. However, it is important to not add to much, as anchovies produces a very strong flavor and subtlety is key, and you don't want the salad becomes fishy tasting.
2. Consider making your own croutons from high quality sourdough bread. Instead of using store bought croutons, dice dried sourdough bread and fry them in butter on low temperature until crispy to add warmth and richness to your salad.
3. Consider replacing some of the lemon juice with red wine vinegar for some complexity in the acidic flavor profile. A good Caesar salad is supposed to taste sharply acidic and crisp, so some flavor complexity is always welcome.

prompter: I like the red wine vinegar idea, however I only have apple cider vinegar. Will this be a good replacement?

assistant: A classic caesar salad recipe:

- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 cup rustic bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, halved
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons minced anchovies
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, washed, dried and torn into pieces
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan

Directions:

1. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the bread in a single layer and turn heat to medium. When oil shimmers, add bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper, brown lightly on all sides, adding a little more oil if necessary. Remove and set aside.

2. Rub the inside of a salad bowl with the garlic clove; discard it. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Pierce a tiny hole in the broad end of each egg with a pin or needle and boil them for 60 to 90 seconds; they will just begin to firm up. Crack them into the salad bowl, being sure to scoop out the white that clings to the shell.

3. Beat eggs with a fork. Gradually add lemon juice and 6 tablespoons oil, beating all the while. Stir in anchovies and Worcestershire. Taste and add salt if needed, and lots of pepper. Toss well with lettuce; top with Parmesan and croutons; toss again at table. Serve immediately.
