Recipe details:

1 1/2 tb Olive oil 1/4 c Chopped walnuts 4 Thin slices whole-grain -bread 1/4 c Anchovy spread (recipe -follows) 1/2 lg Head romaine lettuce, -rinsed and patted dry 1 c Caesar Dressing (recipe -follows) 4 oz Parmesan cheese in one piece Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins characterize this inventive, egg-free recipe from "The New Basics" (Workman, 1989) as "a lovely, light version of the classic". They suggest tucking the walnut toast under a couple of big, crisp leaves of romaine, so it's a surprise. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Add the walnuts and saute over medium heat until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside. Toast the bread; then spread each slice with Anchovy Spread and scatter with the toasted walnuts Tear the lettuce into pieces and toss with the dressing. Place a piece of prepared toast on each plate and top with a portion of the lettuce and dressing. Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Parmesan over each portion. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings. ANCHOVY SPREAD: 12 anchovy fillets, drained 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 clove garlic, finely minced Using a fork, mash the anchovies in a small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Add to the anchovies and mix until a paste has formed. Makes about 1/4 cup.
