Few dishes are as timeless and universally loved as a classic tableside Caesar salad. For an elevated take on the iconic favorite, try this recipe featuring fresh anchovies, homemade croutons, jammy eggs, and the savory finishing touch of freshly grated mullet bottarga.

INGREDIENTS

Yield: 2 servings

  • 1 head of lettuce
  • 2 tbsp fresh parmesan
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
