After last sundays unsatisfying meal, we felt a craving for Ceasar's salad. A nice Ceasar's for a change...nothing too soggy, or too many crutons, or too little lettuce. Just one that could satisfy us..a soulful Ceasar's. The only way to achieve that...we had to make it ourselves.
So we assembled the necessary ingredients and got right into it.
Cat was optional though. The items we used were:
Whole egg mayo, Olive oil, mustard, black pepper and anchovies, lime juice, cos lettuce, crutons and boiled eggs.
I didn't bother with actual measurements, so it was all to taste. Thankfully the consitency and texture turned out fine.
I started by mashing the anchovies with the back of my spoon, then added the mayo & olive oil. Stirring to combine the whole mixture. I kept adding oil and mayo until I got the right texture for the dressing. To counter the saltiness of the anchovy and richness of the mayo, I added a small dolop of mustard and a squeeze of lime juice. As we didn't have any actual crutons, we decided to chop up some slices of whole grain toast and put them under the grill for maximum effect. Turned out quite good, crispy with the goodness of wholegrain. We also added some Tasmanian smoked salmon to finsih the dish.
The end result:
A home made Smoked salmon Ceasars Salad, which tasted very yummy and very satisfying!
