Ingredients

Croutons

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups 1-inch cubes cut from a baguette

Dressing & Salad

  • 1 large whole egg at room temperature
  • 1 large garlic clove finely minced
  • 4 anchovy fillets finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp freshly grated black pepper
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 heads romaine hearts washed and torn into bite-size pieces
  • cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!

Croutons

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat with the oil and seasonings.
  • Spread the cubes out on a sheet pan. Place this in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the bread cubes over and continue to bake until they are golden and crunchy, approximately 5 more minutes.

Dressing & Salad

  • Have a bowl of ice-cold water ready. In a small pot over high heat, bring enough water to fully cover the egg to a boil. Using a spider or slotted spoon, gently lower the egg into the boiling water. Turn the heat off and allow the egg to cook for just 1 minute. Using the spider or spoon, transfer the egg to the bowl of cold water so it can cool down.
  • In a large salad bowl, preferably wood, mix together the garlic and anchovies.
  • Add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce and mix again. Crack the egg and add the yolk to the bowl. Mix with a fork or whisk to combine again.
  • Add the lemon juice to the bowl. Using a whisk for mixing, pour the olive oil in a slow stream into the bowl while whisking until the dressing begins to emulsify and is creamy.
  • Add the torn lettuce to the dressing and toss to coat the leaves. Add the parmesan and croutons and toss gently to incorporate it all.
  • Using tongs or salad serving utensils, transfer the salad to 4 serving plates and enjoy.
