I saw this recipe for Romaine Salad “Caesar Gratin” on Eric Ripert’s Instagram. He is one of my favorite French chefs. We have a salad most days for lunch. I buy romaine almost exclusively because it seems to last the longest. I thought I would try this new twist on a classic Caesar salad. It turns out that it's absolutely delicious and makes a nice presentation. I left out the anchovies, but it's up to you.
