I intended to make this per recipe last night but found I was missing a few things...like goat cheese! LOL. I used cream cheese and fine grated parmesan instead...worked out great! Chopped anchovy fillets fine instead of paste. The tomatoes and frico were great. Thanks for this recipe!

I like how this recipe uses whole romaine leaf as opposed to chopping it. Balsamic vinegar, goat cheese and roasted tomatoes are heavenly.

Made this for a dinner party and couldn't have been more pleased, not only with how it turned out but with the advance prep I was able to do. The dressing was fabulous and the tomatoes were a beautiful, bright pop of color and acidity. I used homemade, torn-bread croutons instead of the parmesan frico but will make those in advance next time, too, and just store 'em in tupperware until ready to use. This was a simple but impressive dinner party salad that's so easy it can be a weeknight salad, too. Will happily make it again.

JoyceB, we're making this this week with crème fraîche as well, and very much looking forward to it.

I made this last night subbing sour cream for creme fraiche (needs must). It was delicious. The dressing alone is a keeper even without the other elements that make up this recipe.

I tried this yesterday and it did not disappoint. My goat cheese had gone bad (rrr) so I subbed cottage cheese and creme fraiche for the goat cheese and heavy cream. It turned out great and may be an option for folks who don't like goat cheese. All the components are so nice together - I loved the tomatoes and the crisps. Congratulations on your win!

That is a great suggestion! I never think of those that don't love goat cheese because I love it so much :) I am so glad that you enjoyed it!

Congratulations on your win and a great looking recipe. As soon as my romaine lettuce is big enough to harvest, we'll be enjoying this dish on our table. - S

Oh I am so jealous! There is barely room in my tiny apartment to grow my own herbs :( Please let me know what you think!

This was a big departure from my normal Caesar salad recipe, but a big hit. I normally make The Silver Palettes Garlic and Anchovy Dressing and serve with reconstituted sun dried tomatoes and either blackened shrimp or chix. This was a really nice alternative however. Hubby loved it. The roasted cherry tomatoes are like candy and add the sweet that I like. I didn't have anchovy paste, but used 1 whole anchovy instead and pulsed all the ingredients in the Cuisinart instead. Wonderful!

So delicious! We loved the fresh taste of the dressing, and will use the grated garlic trick again. The warm, roasted tomatoes are a really nice touch. Thanks!
