Artichoke Caesar-ish Salad

with my new go-to anchovy dressing

This may be the most chaotic salad I’ve ever made. What was to be a well intentioned artichoke Caesar salad, then turned into a red wine/anchovy/parmesan dressed salad with bagel croutons and crispy pinto beans. I thought I was fully stocked to make one thing, and as usual ended up making something completely different. But, it was delicious.

I wanted to make a classic caesar salad but there was no bread, no white beans, and no lemons. So substitutions were made. The main one being red wine vinegar substituted for the lemon juice (here is my standard Caesar dressing), and it turned into a whole new thing. A delicious new thing. It’s the real standout from this whole debacle and I will now be referring to it as The Dressing. It’s insanely good. I will be making more. Lots more. And it will be going on everything.
