                         CREAMY CAESAR DRESSING:
      1/3  cup           mayonnaise
      1/4  cup           freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    2      tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
    2      tablespoons   water
    3      (to 4)        flat anchovy fillets -- chopped fine
      1/2  teaspoon      freshly ground pepper
      1/4  teaspoon      minced garlic
                         CROUTONS:
    2      tablespoons   olive oil
    1      clove         garlic -- smashed
    2      cups          cubed (1/2 inch) sourdough bread
                         SALAD:
   10      cups          torn romaine lettuce
                         Additional flat anchovy fillets (optional)
 
 1. Make dressing: Whisk all ingredients together in small bowl.
 2. Make croutons: Heat oil with garlic in large skillet over medium-low
 heat until garlic is golden brown. Remove garlic. Add bread cubes to
 pan, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden and
 crisp, 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
 3. Toss romaine with dressing in large salad bowl. Add croutons and
 anchovies, if desired, and toss again. Makes 6 servings.
 For the dressing, you can use anchovy paste instead of chopping your own
 anchovies, but don't skip the fish entirely. Try it with grilled chicken
 breasts (either on the side--or sliced up and tossed with the salad) to
 complete the meal.
