Salad Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Croutons

    If using store-bought croutons, skip this step. Otherwise, toss diced bread with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Shave the Parmesan

    Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into thin slices or small curls.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

  2. 5

    Emulsify the Dressing

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a thick, creamy dressing. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Toss the Salad

    Add the torn romaine lettuce to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat the lettuce evenly with the dressing.

  2. 7

    Add Croutons and Cheese

    Sprinkle the croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad. Toss gently to combine.
