Ingredients

Dressing:

  • *1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tin anchovies
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Salad:

  • 1 bag romaine hearts, rinsed, patted dry and chopped (3 heads of hearts)
  • 2 avocados, pitted, peeled and sliced
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat

Croutons:

  • 1 loaf focaccia bread, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

For the dressing:

In a food processor, add egg yolk, lemon juice, anchovies, and garlic. Pulse until there is an even consistency. With the machine running, slowly add olive and canola oil until emulsified. Add the mustard, salt and pepper and pulse to combine.

For the salad:

Combine all the salad ingredients and toss with dressing until evenly coated.

For the croutons:

Place cubed bread into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss together. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until brown and crispy.

Serve salad with croutons on top.

*RAW EGG WARNING

Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.

To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

    Fantastic - as usual! I didn't think I liked anchovies but this was the BEST salad dressing! Thank you so much for airing this show at the new time. We love it!

    I love Aaron's show and this salad looked like a cinch to make. It was perfect for a hot summer evening, but I had to cut the salt down by less than half to make it palatable. I also skipped the croutons as we didn't have any good bread in the house, and didn't miss them a bit. Delicious with fresh avocado.
