Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce thoroughly, then tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the dressing.

Add the anchovy fillets to the garlic paste and mash them together until blended.

Step 4

Whisk in the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Take the chilled Romaine lettuce and toss it gently with the prepared dressing until evenly coated.

Step 8

Add the croutons and toss again lightly to combine.
