Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 large lemon
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Zest and juice the lemon. Set aside 1 teaspoon of zest and 2 tablespoons of juice for the dressing.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss until the greens are evenly coated.
Finely grate the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
Chop the parsley finely and garnish the salad with it for a fresh, herby note.
Serve the Sensation Salad immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
