Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (cubed for croutons) French baguette or crusty bread
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 fillets Anchovy fillets
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cut the baguette into bite-sized cubes and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 3
Bake the bread cubes in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.
Step 4
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop or tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Step 5
In a mortar and pestle or using a food processor, mash the garlic cloves and anchovy fillets together until a paste forms.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic-anchovy paste, egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
Step 7
Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to emulsify the dressing. Then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and gently toss to coat the leaves evenly.
Step 9
Add the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese to the salad and toss again.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
