Easy Classic Caesar Salad with Anchovies

From "How to Cook Everything the Basics" by Mark Bittman. I don't use Worcestershire sauce or salt because I think it's too salty already with the anchovy. I don't use tomatoes, olives or nuts. While these make the salad more colorful, they distract from the harmony of flavors of everything here.

Ingredients

10 minutes
2 people
  1. Your favorite prewashed green mix
  2. Parmesan-Reggiano
  3. Lemon
  4. Extra virgin olive
  5. 1egg
  6. 1garlic
  7. 1 tbspcanned anchovies

Cooking Instructions

10 minutes
  1. 1

    Cut the garlic in half and rub it all over your bowl. Here I use plastic bowl instead of stainless steel because the plastic bowl retains garlic smell better.

  2. 2

    Poke a hole in the smaller end of the egg and put it in boiling water. Boil it till you see the cooked white poking out, about 2 min.

  3. 3

    Break the egg and see egg yolk should be very runny. Scoop out the yolk and white into the bowl and whisk them with a fork while adding lemon and extra virgin olive oil. Taste and add as you like.

  4. 4

    Add 1 tbsp canned anchovies or more depending on your taste. Be careful of the little bones in the fish. Either take them out or grind them all into a paste.

  5. 5

    Put green mix into dressing and mix. You want to keep the garlic scent so you cannot mix it in another bowl. Throw on top grated Parmesan-Reggiano as much as you like.

I like to use whatever I have on my hand to cook. Sometimes this ends up badly and sometimes it's better than what I expected.
