Caesar salad gets a grilled makeover in this creative recipe.

Remove the outside dark green leaves as the firmer inner leaves will stand up to the rigors of the grill better. Although the risk of salmonella from raw eggs is miniscule, you may want to use pasteurized shell eggs available in cartons at any supermarket.

Ingredients (10)

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 anchovy fillets, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper
