salt and pepper

You can let this sit while you prepare the rest of your meal.
Just before serving, add lettuce, celery, and parmesan, and toss.

Comments
If you don't care for anchovies leave them out and add a little salt to taste. If you can't find anchovy essence, then use 1 t. anchovy paste or minced anchovies. If the lemon is very juicy you might want to only use 1/2. This recipe is great with cooked chicken or shrimp added.
