RV Caesar Salad

I developed this one-dish no-egg recipe so I could make a decent Caesar Salad while we were on the road, but it is so easy - and DT just loves Caesar Salad - I use it at at home too. Anyway, if you read the ingredients on the bottle of your usual Caesar dressing, you will see this way is better. Even easier? Use a frozen Dorot garlic cube from Trader Joe's.

1 clove garlic, mashed
2 Tablespoons best-quality extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper
5 oz torn romaine lettuce leaves
croutons
shaved parmesan cheese

Place the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, anchovy paste and black pepper in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Whisk to blend well.

Put the lettuce over the dressing and then put a handful of croutons and a bit of shaved (or grated) parmesan cheese.

At this point, the salad can be refrigerated for an hour or two - or tossed and served immediately. Serves 2 or 3.
