Caesar salad

Prep and Cook Time:10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 large head romaine lettuce, outer leaves removed & discarded
* (optional) 1/4 cup walnuts
Dressing:
2 TBS roasted tahini
1 2oz can anchovies, drained of oil, rinsed and chopped
4 medium cloves garlic, chopped
2 TBS lemon juice
3 TBS balsamic vinegar
3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
salt & cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:

Rinse lettuce, cut into bite size pieces, and dry. Try to get lettuce as dry as possible so dressing is not diluted. If you have a salad spinner it is best.
Blend dressing ingredients together for 1-2 minutes, drizzling the olive oil in at the end a little at a time. Toss romaine with desired amount of dressing and walnuts and chicken if desired. There will be dressing left over. It keeps very well in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Healthy Cooking Tips:
Make sure your lettuce is well dried so you don't dilute the dressing. This salad dressing is great if you want a healthy Caesar dressing with anchovies. If you don't like anchovies I would not bother making it, as it isn't nearly as good without them.
