Ingredients

500g asparagus
2 lettuce heads (we used Ruby Gem)
For The Caesar Dressing:
2 large free-range eggs
6 anchovy fillets, drained
1⁄2tsp mustard powder
A splash each of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
150ml light olive oil
20g freshly grated Parmesan
For The Croutons:
3 slices of sourdough bread, torn
1tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Heat the oven to 160C fan, gas 4. To make the croutons, toss the sourdough chunks in the olive oil, season and bake in a roasting tin for about 5-6 minutes, until crisp.
Cook the asparagus for 2-3 minutes in boiling water until just tender, drain and cool under running water until cold. Set aside to dry.
For the dressing, put all the ingredients except the oil and Parmesan into a food processor, and whizz until smooth.With the motor running, gradually add the oil until you have a smooth dressing. Stir in the Parmesan and set aside. This will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
When the croutons are done, remove from the oven and cool slightly. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Arrange the lettuce and asparagus on a plate and top with the dressing and croutons. Serve immediately.
