Green Bean Caesar Salad

My of my favourite salads is the Caesar Salad. I have one of the best recipes for the classic dressing from my Theo (uncvle) Vaggeli, who was a chef. Its popularity goes up and down but it never goes away. Steak houses are hot again and what’s on the menu? Caesar Salad.
This recipe uses green beans instead of romaine lettuce and if you’re looking for a meatless meal that’s filling and delicious, make a green bean salad.
This dish departs from the classic with the dressing. You could use a classic Caesar dressing but I believe it’s too heavy. Here, I am sharing an eggless dressing that complements the green beans rather bury them.

- To make the dressing, add garlic, mustard, Worcestershire, anchovies, pepper and process until smooth. Add a slow stream of oil. Add lemon juice and process. Have a taste and adjust taste with any of the dressing ingredients.
- For the beans, place a pot of water on your stovetop and bring to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt and a pinch of baking soda (will help retain the beans green colour). Boil for 4-5 minutes (tender and crisp). Empty into a strainer to drain.
