How to make Creole Caesar Salad With Corn Bread Croutons

Place half the fried okra in a large bowl and add the cos, corn, corn bread, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Add the dressing and toss until well coated.

Divide the salad among six serving plates and top evenly with the remaining okra. Serve immediately.

In a small saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, and onion. Cook over low heat until the garlic and onion are golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic and onion to a food processor; reserve the oil.

Add the vinegar, pepper, celery, sugar, cayenne, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
