Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a blender, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with cayenne pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Fry the Capers

    In a small pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the capers and fry until they are crisp and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the tortilla chips to the bowl with the romaine lettuce. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add fried capers and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
