Okay, but I warned you. And the whole point is the absolute
strength here, the pungency.

Dorothy B's Romaine with Anchovy Dressing

This dressing is VERY strong but VERY good. I’m not a great
anchovy fan, so it's interesting that I like this salad a lot.
Jean B., Dorothy's daughter.

8 anchovies
3 Tbsp oil (NOT from anchovies)
3 Tbsp wine vinegar (I think we used red)

1 head romaine, torn and chilled
2 Tbsp herb-flavored crumbs or a lot of homemade herb croutons

Puree anchovies, oil, and vinegar in blender or mini processor.
Serve over lettuce, tossing with crumbs or croutons.
