Directions

1

**Note: If salmonella is a problem in your area, use pasteurized eggs, available at some supermarkets, or use equivalent amount of egg substitute.
2

During close to 40 years of eating this and other raw egg products, however, I have NEVER suffered through a bout of salmonella.
3

Thoroughly mash anchovies and garlic with a little salt.
4

Mix in next 6 ingredients.
5

Slowly whisk in olive oil and 1 cup cheese.
6

Toss with lettuce and croutons.
7

Add additional cheese and black pepper if desired and toss again.
8

Serve immediately.
9

This salad can be made tableside, or the dressing ingredients can be mixed by hand in a bowl or in a blender or food processor and just tossed with the salad ingredients and more cheese at the last minute.
10

If desired, cut back a little on the anchovy, but do not omit entirely; it is needed to provide a little pungency.

The sald is totally insipid without it!
