Anneka’s Caesar Salad

June 21st, 2005 buzolich 1 comment

Ask your grocer for Le-tuiceIngredients:

  • 1 head of Romaine
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil with about 3 cloves of garlic pressed into it (or cut, or whatever)
  • 3 tbsp of regular red vinegar
  • Lots of Worcester sauce (probably about 5-6 healthy shakes of the bottle)
  • 1 lemon, cut in half and squeezed into the salad
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Parmasean cheese

Chef’s Notes:
Everything can go in all at once, though I basically put it in in the order I wrote it out for you. I wait and put the cheese on last minute so it doesn’t get super soggy. And yes, it goes very well with lasagna—any Italian food, actually.
