Garlicky Caesar Salad
By LaLaCooks
Recipe by Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli
Frank Falcinelli created his take on this classic nearly 20 years ago: romaine with a pungent dressing made from anchovy, Worcestershire, Tabasco and, irreverently, jarred mayonnaise. The recipe is now a cornerstone of the Frankies menu.
