Title: Bruce's Favorite Caesar Salad
Categories: Salad Appetizer
Yield: 4 Servings

		Head of Romaine Lettuce
		Tin of Anchovy Filets
1	tb	Fresh Ground Black Pepper
4	cl	Garlic
		Egg Yolk-use Extra Large Egg
1	tb	Prepared Hot Mustard
3	ds	Tobasco Sauce
1	tb	Worcestershire Sauce
3/4	c	Olive Oil
		Red Wine Vinegar
		Lemon
		Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
		Croutons
1/2	lb	Bacon

1) Cook the bacon until very crisp. Set aside and allow to drain on paper towels.

2) Place egg in a glass of warm water and set aside until it reaches room temperature (10-15 minutes).

3) Crush the garlic in a large wooden bowl. Add the anchovies and crush into a pulpy mass. Mix with black pepper.

4) Add mustard, worcestershire sauce and tobasco. Separate the egg, keeping the yolk. If you can't find any extra large eggs then 2 small eggs is fine. Stir in each of these ingredients thoroughly as you add each one.

5) SLOWLY add the oil from the anchovy tin, using a french whisk to mix.

6) SLOWLY add olive oil, rapidly whipping until you get a thick paste. You may have to vary the amount of oil to achieve this (at least 3/4 cup).

7) Squeeze in some red wine vinegar to taste. Once around the bowl is usually enough.

8) Squeeze in one lemon for the juice, again to taste.

9) Just before serving, add the lettuce, croutons, crushed bacon and parmesan cheese. Toss Thoroughly.

The trick to this is the dressing should be quite thick before adding the red wine vinegar and lemon juice.

You may want to add more garlic, tobasco, worcestershire, mustard depending on how spicy you like your Caesar Salad. From the kitchen of Bruce and Peggy Travers, Cyberealm BBS Watertown NY 315-786-1120
