Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CREAMY CAESAR DRESSING:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
3 (to 4) flat anchovy fillets -- chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
CROUTONS:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic -- smashed
2 cups cubed (1/2 inch) sourdough bread
SALAD:
10 cups torn romaine lettuce
Additional flat anchovy fillets (optional)

1. Make dressing: Whisk all ingredients together in small bowl.
2. Make croutons: Heat oil with garlic in large skillet over medium-low
heat until garlic is golden brown. Remove garlic. Add bread cubes to
pan, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden and
crisp, 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
3. Toss romaine with dressing in large salad bowl. Add croutons and
anchovies, if desired, and toss again. Makes 6 servings.
For the dressing, you can use anchovy paste instead of chopping your own
anchovies, but don't skip the fish entirely. Try it with grilled chicken
breasts (either on the side--or sliced up and tossed with the salad) to
complete the meal.
