I used dry wasabi powder in this recipe, which is available at many grocery stores, usually in the international foods section.  Prepared wasabi paste is a fine substitute, but you may need to add a little extra in order to attain the same level of flavor.

  • 2 teaspoons dry wasabi
  • pinch of salt

Directions

Make the wasabi croutons: Preheat the oven to 325°. Mix the butter, dry wasabi and salt together until smooth. Spread the wasabi butter on the bread slices. Cut into crouton size pieces and transfer to a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Bake until brown around the edges and beginning to crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix the dry wasabi with just enough water to create a paste, about two teaspoons.  Transfer the paste to a salad bowl.  Add the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and anchovy paste, and mix well. Whisk in the egg yolk. Add the olive in a thin stream, whisking until the ingredients are well combined.

Assemble the salad: Transfer the lettuce to the bowl and toss the salad well. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the salad and toss again. Garnish with the chicken and croutons. Serve, and enjoy!
