Quick Caesar Salad

This is a bit of a cheat and is a quick dressing to mix up if you don't have time to make a proper caesar dressing. I tend to leave out the crutons but should you wish to do so you can cube ciabatta or baguette brush with oil and toast in a hot oven (200c) for 10 mins or so

Serves 4 but makes tons of dressing which will feed double - feel free to halve. I water it down as find this recipe a bit thick

Equipment

Salad bowl

bowl for dressing

Sharp knife

fine grater

Tbsp measurer

Potato peeler

Ingredients

2 cob or romaine lettuce

5 tbsp mayonnaise

1 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar

Block parmesan cheese (you won't use all of it)

1 clove garlic

2 Anchovy fillets

salt and pepper to season

Wash, pat dry (kitchen roll good for this) and roughly slice the lettuce putting in a salad bowl.

In another bowl make the dressing. 

Mix 5 tbs mayonnaise with 1tbsp white wine vinegar. 

Chop the anchovy fillets and garlic and add to the bowl.  Finely grate approx an ounce of parmesan cheese (or to taste) into the mixture. 

Add water to thin out if required

Add salt and pepper to season

Dress the salad with the dressing (or mix in! you won't use it all so some can be saved for another day).

Using a potato peeler slice the parmesan cheese to scatter over the salad.

Enjoy!
