Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the red gem, romaine, and frisée lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

  2. 2

    Chop the Lettuce

    Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

  2. 4

    Emulsify the Dressing

    While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified and thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Pour the prepared dressing over the lettuce mixture in the salad bowl. Toss gently until the lettuce is evenly coated with the dressing.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the optional parmesan cheese over the top of the salad (if using) and add the croutons. Toss lightly to combine.
