Caesar salad
Ingredients
For the dressing:
125g/125ml (½ cup) crème fraîche
3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
6 drained anchovy fillets, finely chopped
18g/15ml (1 tbsp)Dijon mustard
juice of 1 lemon
5ml (1 tsp) honey
30g/60ml (¼ cup) grated Parmesan
125ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
1 roasted whole chicken, flaked
250g cos lettuce or gem lettuce, washed
2 avocados, sliced or mashed up
50g/125ml (½ cup) shaved Parmesan
a few strips of crispy fried bacon (optional)
I pop a whole chicken in the oven to roast most Sunday evenings: it takes 2 minutes to season, drizzle with olive oil and pop in the oven, and then it roasts on its own for an hour and 20 minutes or so while I finish off a few other chores. This is just one of the meals we make with it.
