Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sourdough Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the sourdough bread into cubes and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together the garlic, egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Rinse and dry the Little Gem lettuce. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a salad bowl. Add the white anchovy fillets and croutons. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cheese

    Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top of the salad before serving.
