Salad Ingredients

Garlic Dijon Dressing Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Hearts

    Wash the baby romaine hearts thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  2. 2

    Plating the Salad

    Cut the romaine hearts in half lengthwise and arrange them on a large serving plate or individual plates.

  3. 3

    Add Croutons and Cheese

    Sprinkle the sesame brioche croutons evenly over the cut romaine. Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano generously over the top of the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic (minced), Dijon mustard, egg yolk, and lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.

  2. 5

    Emulsify the Dressing

    While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified and thickened. Season with salt, black pepper, and anchovy paste.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the prepared Garlic Dijon dressing over the plated salad, ensuring an even coating on the romaine hearts and adding more to taste if desired.
