Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Start by washing the Romaine hearts thoroughly under cold water, then dry them using a salad spinner or pat them dry with paper towels.

    Chop the Romaine hearts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Dressing Preparation

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, minced anchovy fillets, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until well combined.

  2. 4

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk until the dressing is emulsified and creamy.

  3. 5

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over the chopped Romaine hearts in the salad bowl and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 7

    Add the croutons and toss gently to combine.

  3. 8

    Top the salad with shaved pecorino cheese and arrange the marinated Sicilian white anchovies over the top.

Serving

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
