Thank you Angela, I am going to try this with chicken. I love capers. I live in a Mediterranean country, so capers, lemons and olive oil are always in my kitchen
Hi Esther! Like you, I always have those important ingredients in my pantry. My Mom was a European-trained chef and I grew up with these healthy ingredients. If it is not too personal, which country are you in? Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Globe Trotter! I perfectly understand that as a vegetarian, you would become very sensitized to certain flavors, especially from, as you say, flesh. That is why I provide capers as an alternative in the written recipe. From the Food Network, here is a description of capers: Capers come from a prickly bush called capparis spinosa that grows wild across the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. The capers we see in the grocery store are the un-ripened green flower buds of the plant. As non-vegetarians, most people do not notice the anchovy taste distinctly, but as I mention, the caper alternative is also good - you just need a little more, as per the written recipe. I greatly respect my vegetarian and vegan friends, and do appropriate substitutions when they visit. I hope that when you make the caper substitution you will enjoy the recipe - Cheers!

This sounds delicious…thank you
My pleasure, Reb! I hope that you enjoy the dressing and the salad - Thanks for taking the time to let me know - Cheers!
Can I use avacado oil?
Hi Maria! Yes, absolutely...Enjoy!
Nope. Anchovies DO affect the taste. I'm a vegetarian and I can taste it when flesh is in a recipe...
