Mock Caesar Salad
Updated February 23, 2016 
Gone here are the fat-laden oil and anchovies associated with traditional Caesar recipes, along with the increasingly suspect raw egg. In this version, tart Belgian endive lends a refreshingly pungent accent, while the tomatoes add an unexpected burst of color.
To crack black pepper, coarsely grind whole peppercorns in a mill or crush them lightly using a mortar and pestle.
