Caesar Salad Dressing<\/span><\/p>\n Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck (adapted) 1 egg yolk I woke up Sunday feeling pretty good. I decided that I would have some oatmeal and Jasmine Pearl tea for breakfast and then give swimming a try.<\/p>\n

\n3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
\n1 tablespoon minced garlic
\n1\/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
\n1\/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

<\/a>Michael made the dressing on his own. I just took photos and put things away when he was done with it. I still wasn’t feeling quite myself.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI honestly had no idea that Caesar salad dressing had a raw egg in it. Not sure how I feel about that. Apparently raw eggs can carry salmonella but I figured we would be okay. Michael said he did not use the vegetable oil that the recipe called for.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe fresh lemon juice really made the recipe I think. Plus all the garlic. Michael put a lot more in it than the recipe called for but I LOVE garlic. There’s no such thing as too much, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nExtra garlic means extra spicy. Yum! Instead of anchovy fillets we used anchovy paste.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI prepped the romaine salad and mixed the dressing, then tossed the salad and dressing in a bowl to coat everything.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nShredded fresh Parmesan to put on the lettuce and Michael blackened the salmon fillets.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nTopped the salad with the salmon and dinner was served. It was delicious. The dressing was a little runny but it’s better the second day once it thickens up a little. The flavors were good and it was indeed spicy.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI had a glass of white wine to go with dinner. Michael and I finally watched “The Social Network.” It was a good movie, hardly Oscar-worthy in my opinion, and it was surprising how much of a dirt bag the Facebook guy was. Talk about stabbing your friend in the back!<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe rain and wind was strong outside Saturday night. Michael built a fire while we watched the movie and I had some ice cream for dessert! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nSunday<\/span><\/h4>\n
