Whether the tomatoes deserve it or not, I make some version of a tomato Caesar salad every summer. Here, I inverted the usual proportions of lettuce to tomatoes, favoring the tomatoes. It was the juiciest of Caesars, and pretty, too, dotted with anchovies and curls of Parmesan.

¾ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Nutritional Information
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, salt, lemon juice and Worcestershire. Whisk in olive oil.
Spread lettuce on a platter and drizzle with dressing. Scatter tomatoes and anchovies over lettuce and drizzle with more dressing. Using a vegetable peeler or coarse grater, grate or shave cheese over the salad. Drizzle dressing over the plate and finish with pepper.

I almost didn't make this because it seemed, well, so *ordinary* ... but it was lunchtime and I was hungry, so I figured I'd halve recipe and whip it up. I was out of anchovies and substituted Pecorino Romano for the Parmesan (I prefer) ... delicious! So light and refreshing! Perfect for a hot summer day. The layering of the dressing really makes the entire salad sing. Thank you so much for recipe! Can't wait to share it with hubby tonight.

I added a fresh Avocado because I felt like this needed something extra to combat the saltiness of the Worcestershire Sauce and Fish and it was met with rave reviews!
