Caesar Salad
* Note from Julia: For those of you eating “lighter” you can adapt this recipe very easily. Either skip the croutons or bake them. I encourage you to try to make your own dressing, but if you are going to buy it there are many versions, including “low fat” ones.
Serves 6
For croutons3 cups 1/2-inch cubes of fresh French or Italian bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
For dressing
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
6 flat anchovies, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 tablespoons water
1 head romaine lettuce, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Make croutons:
Preheat oven to 350°̊F. In a bowl toss bread cubes with oil and salt to taste and spread in a jelly-roll pan. Bake croutons in middle of oven until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
Make dressing:
In a blender blend together at high speed garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and salt until smooth. With motor running add oil in a slow stream and blend until emulsified. Add water and blend dressing well.

The following is a review of the sushi recipe...
Ian Miles from Leicester, England on 03/30/99
Some of the ingredients are hard to find. I had to omit the cilantro leaves,
and decided not to try to replace them with something else. This did not seem
to take anything away from the taste. Overall, a really tasty and filling dish.
Herbed Romaine Salad with Strawberries, Sunset Magazine, April 2007
1/2 cup raw (unsalted) pistachios
10 to 12 oz. romaine lettuce hearts, cored and roughly chopped
1/3 cup fresh tarragon, torn into small pieces
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, torn into small pieces
12 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced shallot (about 1 medium)
2 teaspoons honey
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons mild olive oil
6 ounces good-quality mild feta cheese (see Notes), cut into triangles
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spread pistachios on a large baking sheet and bake until very lightly toasted (they should still retain some green), 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, tarragon, mint, and half of the strawberries. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, shallot, honey, and salt. Drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly, until mixture is emulsified. Drizzle dressing over lettuce mixture and toss well.
3. Divide lettuce mixture among plates, then top with remaining strawberries, toasted pistachios, and feta triangles.
