Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the romaine lettuce and discard. Rinse the remaining leaves thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Chop or tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the garlic dressing over the lettuce and toss gently to ensure the leaves are evenly coated.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately as a crisp, zesty side or enjoy as a light, healthy meal.
