Caesar salad

Great when Spring/Summer arrives and scalops are once again readily available, this salad is a great lunch or a tasty starter. You can use scallops, chicken or prawns.

Caesar sauce : Blend together 7 anchovies, 120g pouring cream, 1 soupspoon Parmesan (grated) Add 125g mayo

Place 1 soupspoon in bottom of individual salad bowls. Place soms salad leaves on top as well as tomatoes confit, (oven dried with oil and garlic though shop bought sundried will do too) 2 black olives,sliced,  some Parmesan shavings and Parmesan sablé in pieces. (See below)

Add 3 scallops/person (cooked in olive oil – 1 minute each side) or chicken pieces, fried in olive oil.

Sprinkle some anchovy oil on top. (anchovies and olive oil blended together)

  • 210g parmesan, grated

  • Roll out and cut into biscuits.
  • Bake at 170°C/350°F for 7/8 minutes.
  • Freezes beautifully.
