I am just doing a bit of meal planning, and a little bell went off in my brain to remind me of this salad. It’s now on the list for the weekend.

I made this to serve with dinner the other night. My small town does not sell anchovy paste, so I just dropped a few whole anchovys into the food processor with the dressing. It worked perfectly. We all loved this salad. What a great way to use the lettuce the is coming from my garden. Thanks for the recipe!!

This is one of those basics that I have never made!

Basil! I love this. I was just looking at my plants this morning, thinking they might survive if I just took a few leaves off . . . heh heh. Patience, not so much one of my virtues!

Yay! So glad that I inspired you. Regarding anchovy paste: Kristin, you know I won’t touch a fish dish with a 10-foot pole, but even I have learned (thanks to mom!) to appreciate the nuance that anchovy paste can lend to a dish. It’s a salty depth & richness that can’t be recreated by anything else. I often use it in pasta salad and dips (like tapenade) and keep it on a need to know basis. I’ll certainly give any vegetarian friends a heads-up, but I figure for everyone else, what they don’t know can’t hurt them! Also, to comment on the raw eggs…the recipe I used directed me to par boil the eggs first for a minute or two. The yolk is still completely runny, but I at least felt better that any bad bugs were killed in the quick bath. Who knows if that’s true or not, but it did give some peace of mind.

This looks so good. I adore caesar salad.

For anyone who’s afraid of raw eggs, there’s a recipe on epicurious from way back (at least 2004, maybe even older), that uses store bought mayo to make the dressing. I’ve tried it and it’s quite good.

You are so right that most caesar salads are gloppy and just gross and tasteless.

I haven’t had a good caesar in years. Might need to try this out!
