1   Egg yolk - coddled
2   Garlic cloves - finely chopped (large)
2 tablespoons 30mlDijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlSalt
2 tablespoons 30mlFresh lemon juice
1/2 cup 118mlExtra-virgin olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Clean the lettuce of the tough outer leaves, hand-tear into bite size pieces, and carefully wash and dry.

In a wooden bowl, combine the cooked egg yolk, garlic, mustard, salt and lemon juice. Using a wire whisk, combine the mixture until smooth and creamy. Then add the Romaine lettuce leaves and coat them completely. Add the olive oil by pouring in a slow, steady stream to produce a smooth, creaminess in the salad. Add the anchovies by mixing in evenly the chopped bits. Season with freshly-ground black pepper to taste. Add the Parmesan cheese and the toasted croutons and toss the salad again to coat the greens evenly.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
