Love Cos lettuce this time of year. We’ve had a little bit of rain and a cool start to spring and the greens are very happy. With Cos and eggs in abundance, my thoughts for the Tuesday Night Vego Challenge this week turned to Caesar salad.

I made this at this time last year intending to post the recipe, but I was never quite happy enough with it to post it. This time though, I’ve think I’ve nailed a satay sauce based on macadamias and with no coconut milk. So much so that we’ve gone for it several days in a row.
