Notes about this recipe

    p. 62 - mr bc was craving a Caesar salad and when I saw this recipe, I figured it should satisfy his craving and would work perfectly with our grilled veal chops this evening…and it did! I’ve never added oil to my frico in the past and I don’t think I’d do so again, I thought it bound the Parmesan together too much and compacted the cheese. That said, it did serve to quicken the browning process. brown and bubbling, the photo in the book shows very anemic looking frico. BL suggests drizzle the dressing atop the greens but in the spirit of the Caesar, I dressed them before plating. This salad not only looked beautiful but it tasted incredible. mr bc is salad-averse and he said he’d give it a 9.5 out of 10. I’ll say no more…other than there was quite a bit of dressing leftover after serving 4. BL says it will keep in the fridge for “a couple of days”.

    ...loved the thick, rich dressing over crisp, fresh leaves. The parmesan frico crisps brought nice texture and extra flavor to the salad too.
