A restaurant-quality classic featuring crisp romaine and a rich, velvety dressing.
Ingredients
- For the Dressing:
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Anchovy Paste
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- For the Salad:
- 1 head Romaine Lettuce
- Extra Parmesan Cheese for garnish
- Croutons to taste
Instructions
- Clean the romaine lettuce thoroughly and ensure every leaf is completely dry before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture and whisk until the texture is smooth and uniform.
- Place the dry romaine lettuce in a large bowl and toss with the dressing until the leaves are lightly and evenly coated.
- Scatter the croutons over the top and garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper before serving.
Notes
• Ensure the lettuce is bone-dry to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
• Use a fresh block of Parmesan for the best texture and flavor in the dressing.
• Serve immediately after tossing to maintain the maximum crunch of the greens and croutons.
