ingredients


Salad

4 cups green romaine lettuce, inner leaves only
1/2 cup Spicy Caesar Dressing (see recipe below)
Red Chili Croutons (see recipe below)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
12 leaves red romaine lettuce, if available
12 anchovy fillets

Spicy Caesar Dressing

1 tablespoon prepared mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon canned chipotle chilies, pureed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon capers
10 anchovy fillets
8 cloves garlic, roasted
1 1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Red Chili Croutons

8 slices French bread or Italian bread, 1/2" thick
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

For Salad: Place the green romaine in a large bowl, add the dressing, croutons and half the Parmesan, then toss together.

Divide the salad among individual bowls, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and arrange the red romaine leaves, if available, in the center of each serving. Sprinkle the anchovies around the edge of the salad.

For Croutons: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the bread with the olive oil and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle with the ancho chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Bake for about 7 minutes or until lightly browned.

For Dressing: Put all the ingredients, except the oil and vinegar, in a food processor and process until coarsely blended.

Transfer to a mixing bowl. Slowly mix in the oil, then mix in the vinegar. If the dressing is very thick, mix in a little water.

This may be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Refrigerate in a squeeze bottle. Bring to room temperature before serving.
