Dressing

Method

Dressing

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemon-Pecorino Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the ingredients are well combined and emulsified. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Croutons

  1. 2

    Make the Herb Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread with extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and salt. Toss until the bread is evenly coated. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.

Salad

  1. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine hearts with the lemon-pecorino dressing and toss until the leaves are well coated. Add the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and herb croutons, and gently toss again to combine. Serve immediately.
