Caesar Salad

• Salt
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 4 small heads romaine lettuce
• 8 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons beer
• 1 one minute coddled egg
• 1/4th teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup ready made garlic croutons
• 8 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon anchovy (optional)

Sprinkle salad bowl with a little salt. Rub bowl with garlic cloves. Tear romaine leaves into thirds and place in bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice and beer. Toss lightly until thoroughly coated. Add coddled egg and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Toss again. Add croutons and cheese and toss again. (Slices of avocado dipped in lemon juice make this a truly elegant salad.)
