Author Notes
This is based on carpaccio, sort of. This salad is tasty enough to take the trouble to make it all on its own but it is also wonderful with an extra, properly cooked, steak from the night before. The panko croutons are great not only on pasta but on salads. Try them on a wedge next time you make a batch of blue cheese dressing. Each ingredient is really important so don't skip any with the expception of the anchovies. I mean I have to be real about it. —thirschfeld
