Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Dry the leaves using a salad spinner or by patting them gently with a kitchen towel. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Croutons

    Sprinkle the croutons evenly over the prepared Romaine lettuce in the salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    Grate the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it generously over the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, anchovy fillets, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk together until fully combined.

  2. 5

    Emulsify the Dressing

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing until it is thick and creamy.

  3. 6

    Season the Dressing

    Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the dressing, whisking to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Toss the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until the lettuce, croutons, and cheese are well coated with the dressing.

  2. 8

    Serve

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