The other day, I received a question from Jennifer, who has just moved in with her boyfriend, and is having a problem getting him to eat vegetables. He realizes that greens are important for his diet, but he has hated almost every vegetable he's ever met, and has resorted to eating dry salad, without dressing, which he calls "rabbit food".
I don't know why some men in their twenties have such a hard time liking vegetables, but I think I can help. The following recipe for Caesar Salad was given to me by Patsy Hicks, and I've never met anyone who didn't love it.
Mrs. Hick's Caesar Salad
5 cloves garlic (I usually use only 3)
Juice of 2 lemons (squeezed by hand)
Dash of Worcester Sauce
Tsp. of Dijon Mustard
Pinch of Salt
½ - 1 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (enough to fill the bottom of a Cuisinart about an inch)
Olive Oil
Place all ingredients except olive oil in Cuisinart and blend. While blending, add the olive oil (about a cup) in a slow, steady stream, until the mixture is creamy. Pour over Romaine lettuce, and add croutons and additional Parmesan. Serve.
