Instructions
Prepare the lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper.
Toss the salad: Pour half of the dressing over the lettuce and gently toss to coat. Add more dressing as needed.
Add croutons: Sprinkle the croutons over the salad and toss lightly to distribute evenly.
Garnish with cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately: Enjoy the salad fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Chef's Tips
- Freshness: Use the freshest vertically farmed lettuce for maximum crispness and flavor.
- Dressing: Make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Croutons: For extra crunch, toast the croutons in the oven for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
- Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
- Storage: If storing leftovers, keep the dressing separate to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
