Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Lettuce

    Rinse the Romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off excess water and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Croutons

    If using store-bought croutons, measure one cup. If making homemade croutons, cut day-old bread into cubes, toss in olive oil, garlic powder, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Grate Parmesan Cheese

    Using a grater, finely grate the Parmesan cheese and set aside for topping.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, anchovy fillets, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 5

    Emulsify the Dressing

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth, emulsified dressing.

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the chopped Romaine lettuce, croutons, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the salad with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
