Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cups Olive tapenade
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Croutons
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 2 fillets Anchovy fillets
- 1 unit Egg yolk
- 4 slices Prosciutto slices
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the prosciutto slices flat on top. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crisp. Remove and let them cool, then break into bite-sized pieces.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
To make the dressing, finely mince the garlic and anchovy fillets, then mash them together into a paste.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic-anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and egg yolk.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified and creamy. Stir in the olive tapenade and a pinch of black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss to coat evenly.
Add the croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and crispy prosciutto pieces to the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Plate the salad and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
