Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large bowl. Add the roasted eggplant croutons and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional Pecorino Romano cheese if desired.
