For this cousin of the Caesar salad use a combination of winter greens, such as radicchio and escarole; the anchovies and lemon juice temper their bitterness. Vary the amount of garlic and anchovy according to your preference.

I substituted 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste for the whole anchovies. It added the flavor without triggering anchovy aversion.
