This is what you get when you combine two traditional salads: Caesar salad and tuna salad. If you have access to good fresh tuna, please use it in this recipe. *Warning*: salad contains raw egg. This salad is ample enough to be served as a main dish. Serve with a platter of fresh seasonal fruit and a glass of wine and won't you just be a happy camper?. Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 egg |
1 garlic clove, finely minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cracked pepper |
1 pinch raw sugar |
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (or 1 anchovy fillet, minced) |
1/2 head romaine lettuce, torn |
1/2 head butter lettuce, torn |
1 (13 ounce) can canned tuna, drained and flaked (i like trader joe's brand of tuna) |
1/4 cup imported parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup red onion, peeled and cut into crescents (my addition) |
3/4 cup garlic-flavored croutons |
Directions:
1. In blender add all the salad dressing ingredients and blend until smooth. I always prepare the dressing several hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In large salad bowl, combine the two lettuces, tuna, Parmesan cheese, red onion crescents if using and croutons. Add the dressing and toss to coat well.
3. Prep time does not include baking the croutons.
