Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Croutons
- 4 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large serving bowl.
Grate the Parmesan cheese finely and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the anchovy fillets and minced garlic cloves into a paste using the back of a spoon or a fork.
Add the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl with the anchovy-garlic paste. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing. It should become thick and creamy.
Stir in the lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the Romaine lettuce and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and croutons over the salad, tossing once more to distribute.
Serve immediately, preferably with an ocean breeze for the full 'seashore' experience. Enjoy!
