Dressing
¾ cup olive oil3 cloves garlic, smashed¼ cup vinegar (can use a mixture, like ½ balsamic and ½ red wine)Juice from ½ a lemon½ can of anchove filets (3 or 4 filets)1 teaspoon of whole grain mustard½ teaspoon of saltA couple grinds of pepper
The Lettuce
2 Heads of Romaine, outer leaves discarded, inner leaves washed and chopped or torn into large pieces.
The Cheese
Reggiano Parmesano……shaved over the salad
Croutons
Your choice….best with homemade croutons made from thinly sliced bread, brushed with garlic butter and toasted in a 400 degree oven
The Salad
Microwave the garlic and the oil for one minute on high.
Put the lemon juice, vinegar, anchovies and mustard in a food processor. With the processor running, slowly pour in the oil. Add salt and pepper. If the taste is too strong for your liking, add a little water, and then more oil. Toss romaine with dressing, then add shaved parmesan and croutons……Bon appétit.
