One hundred years ago..in my ceramics class..I made this big bowl w/ 6 small bowls for my favorite salad at my favorite resto that many years ago..
We have continued to enjoy variations over the years..adding this..switching that:)
I always love it..Mondays'..had large jumbo shrimp..baked in the oven quickly.. crab..and lobster..Jacques' croûtons.. some very salty capers..spring green onions..red peppers and chives..I forgot the hard boiled eggs..too busy in the garden..Victoria Day:)
The dressing is easy..
3 tbsps lemon juice
2 minced cloves of garlic
2 tsps of Anchovy paste..I add smushed real anchovies..
capers
a splash or 2 of Worcesterchire sauce..
s and p.. and I slowly drizzle in ap 1/2 cup of very good EVOO.
The capers I add last..
Kind of looks like Jaws in the last pic:) Same year I made the shells I think..saw it at a Drive -In:) I think Jojo was with us..:)
Just beautiful as always. This is such a happy place for a visual communication person like myself to visit. :)

Yum ~ Love Caesar salad and can't understand why people leave the anchovies out (the best part!). I'll have to give you my recipe for anchovy toast via Mr. Vincent Price (a Sunday morning fav here). Next time, I will add seafood to my salad. Happy weekend, Monique.

Hi Monique,
ReplyDeletethe recipe looks appetizingly. I love all seafood. Your dressing sounds yummy, but I expected a parmesan dressing as caesar dressing. Greatings Anja
Anja!! You are so observant..I forgot to mention the parmesan cheese:) Gosh you're good!
ReplyDeleteMonique..this is jaw dropping beautiful! I absolutely love your shell bowls...so delicately delicious! Just wonderful, and more special since you made them. The photos are so artful....and I'm sure the salad was exquisite. Can't say enough!

Such a pretty, pretty presentation for your lovely salad Monique. I'm going to remember this for the next time I'm craving Caesar... it won't look nearly so beautiful without your bowls though. :)
