Lettuce Harvest & Modified Caesar Salad

With the sudden weather warm-up my lettuce is maturing all at the same time. Notice there is a small bunch of broccolini there too (it does put on more than one bunch). I packed two bags of red leaf lettuce very very full; each neighbor (I only have two neighbors on my road) got a delivery this morning. I still have one large colander full of romaine lettuce.
I washed the romaine well, spun it dry and broke it into bite sized pieces. I decided to make a modified caesar salad. Romaine, anchovies and grated parmesan cheese with a drizzle of white balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Nothing better than home grown. Gary and I are really enjoying our salads. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

    1. Hi Sue, thanks, for some reason my original comment disappeared, I would serve you first then add the anchovy as I love their salty taste.
