Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Croutons
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly, dry it using a salad spinner or kitchen towel, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, finely minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the dressing and make it creamy.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped Romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately, optionally topped with more Parmesan cheese for garnish.
