Cooking Time: 15 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Prepare the Lettuce

Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Make the Croutons

Cube your choice of bread (preferably day-old) and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Prepare the Dressing

In a blender, combine 1 egg yolk, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil while blending until the dressing emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Salad

Add the croutons to the lettuce. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.

Garnish and Serve

Grate Parmesan cheese over the salad and add anchovies if desired. Serve immediately.
