CREAMY CAESAR SALAD
I adapted this from a recipe I found online. My family loves zippy, garlicky Caesar dressing and this fits the bill. I use fresh raw egg and have never had a problem. It's best to make the dressing ahead of time and let it meld if you have the time. Excellent with grilled chicken pieces added too. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the first 9 ingredients in a blender, blend on high for 1 minute, taste and adjust as needed.
- Put the lettuce in a large bowl with the croutons and parmesan cheese.
- Pour most of the dressing over the salad and gently toss, add extra dressing if needed.
- Serve with lemon slices on the side.
- If making a smaller salad extra dressing will last for more than a week in the frig.
- Note.
- Since posting this several people have said it needed more garlic - garlic can vary in intensity - so start with 2 cloves, blend, then taste to see if it needs more. I've love strong garlic and this recipe usually has a bit of a bit.

- In a blender, combine the mayonnaise, pecorino, toasted pine nuts, lemon juice, Dijon, anchovies, Worcestershire, cayenne and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the beans until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the beans to a serving plate and add the sliced tomatoes and torn basil. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, and sprinkle with some pine nuts and the 2 tablespoons pecorino.
