Have you ever tried grilled Caesar salad with real Caesar dressing, like the kind Julia made with fresh yolk, anchovies, and garlic? It's pretty awesome.

The only thing that would have made the salad better for me is a blackened piece of chicken straight from the hot coals and a pour of red wine in a glass.

Mash the garlic cloves, add the fillets of anchovies, and egg yolk or two, squeeze the lemons for fresh juice, olive oil, a few grinds of coarse pepper, taste and adjust the flavors. Add a bit more salt, a spoon of mayo and whisk away until emulsified.

Over hot coals, grill the lettuce and bread until charred. A pile of freshly grated Parmesan over the top on your plate. Dinner is served.
