Caesar Salad Sandwich


On Sunday it was a beautiful winter's day and we went to a barbecue. I made a Caesar Salad to take with for lunch as I had all the ingredients. It was so good, I can think of nothing else. A bit cool in the house today so not exactly the weather for a salad. I decided to 'deconstruct' it and make it into a sandwich instead.


I'm not really an 'egg' person but the occasional one is okay, especially if it's smothered with Caesar Salad dressing. This dressing is super easy and the one I used for the salad.

Caesar Salad Sandwich

2 slices bread (of any sort)
1 tbs butter (or olive oil)
1 rasher bacon (or 3 slices ham, proscuitto or pancetta)
1 egg
cos lettuce

Dressing:
2 tbs whole egg mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1 small anchovy fillet, ground into a paste with a knife
pepper
  1. Toast bread on one side.
  2. Fry ham/bacon in melted butter/oil to warm through then fry egg as desired. (I like mine with no soft yolk whatsoever).
  3. Combine all dressing ingredients.
  4. Spread dressing onto untoasted sides of bread and add ham/bacon, fried egg and lettuce.
  5. Spoon remaining dressing on top.
You could've spread a little butter or oil on the toasted side of the bread before toasting but I figured there was enough calories in this sandwich to last me all week! Very delicious though and has satisfied my craving of Caesar Salad, for now.

  3. What a great, original idea! Though I was thrown off by Winter - until I saw you were in Australia. I think I may have to try this (though I might take out the egg - not an egg person, either). :) ~ Courtney
