simple ceasar dressing

I made this last night in a hurry and it came out really nice. Obviously you can dress a salad with it but... I would suggest drizzling it over a piece of roasted meat such as veal or over some seared fish. You could also use it as a simple sauce for some fresh noodles with... I dunno... shrimp, red chili and mint or toss it with cooked veggies like haricot vert, rapini, chard, brussels sprouts, the list goes on. Here is the recipe...

2 oz lemon juice
1 clove of garlic (smashed into paste)
2 red anchovy (sliced)
1 tsp minced shallot
.5 tsp dijon
a little salt and fresh ground black pepper
5 oz olive oil

Simply place all the ingredients in a container with a tight fitting lid and shake the s**t out of it. Don't worry about the anchovy pieces being to big, they will break up when you shake the dressing.
