Instructions

  1. 1

    First, make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce. As you are whisking, add a tiny amount of the sunflower oil; keep whisking and adding the sunflower oil, then the olive oil, a little at a time, until the dressing forms an emulsion. If it is too thick, add a little cold water.


  2. 2

    Put a little of the dressing in a bowl, then add the lettuce leaves, croutons, and half of the Parmesan. Toss together gently, making sure the leaves are coated. Lay out the leaves on 4 individual serving plates or a serving dish, and top with the chicken and anchovies. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, drizzle over some more dressing, and serve.
