Instructions

Croutons Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss cubes of bread with the 2 teaspoons of anchovy oil and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • In a heavy bottomed skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on low-medium heat. Add the bread. Fry on low until nicely browned on all sides.
    Remove from heat and set aside.

Dressing Instructions

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine mayonnaise, garlic, capers, salt, 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, and anchovy fillets. Pulse until smooth in texture and transfer to a jar. Keep chilled until ready to use.

Salad Assembly

  • Tear or cut romaine lettuce into bite sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
  • To the salad bowl, add half the dressing, the croutons and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
    Serve immediately with cooked chicken, if desired.

Notes

  • A fun alternative is to shave your parmesan cheese with a cheese slicer to get nice curls of cheese for a pretty presentation.
  • For optimal crunch, the croutons are best consumed within half an hour of tossing salad. Once the dressing comes into contact with them, they get soggy.?
  • It¡¯s best to keep salad leaves refrigerated until ready to use, as a nice cold leaf provides a great texture with the dressing.
