Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce under cool running water. Shake off excess water and dry using a salad spinner or patting with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Chop the Lettuce

    Once dry, chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Croutons and Cheese

    Add the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl with the chopped romaine.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine minced garlic, minced anchovy fillets, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 5

    Add Olive Oil

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.

  3. 6

    Season the Dressing

    Add salt and black pepper to the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Combining the Salad

  1. 7

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Pour the prepared dressing over the romaine, croutons, and Parmesan cheese in the salad bowl.

  2. 8

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss the salad until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately on individual plates or in a large bowl, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
