a delicious and easy Caesar dressing...
no egg is required
I make
this several days in advance and keep in my refrigerator
Probably the most familiar salad is a Caesar, I like to shred
the
Romaine lettuce and add
shrimp for an interesting taste and texture. My
homemade
croutons are perfect with this.
For something different, why not make an edible salad bowl,
see my recipe with a photograph at

Caesar Salad Dressing

Dijon mustard, lemon juice and garlic.

Baguette Bread
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (no substitute)
Slice bread 1/2-inch thick. Generously brush olive oil on both sides of bread slices, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and bake on a sheet pan at 275° until
lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. These are so flavorful
when freshly made. Wine suggestion: Chardonnay
