Instructions
- DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
- Make the croutons: in a large bowl place baguette chunks, season with garlic powder, salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil. Mix well and spread on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy. Set aside
- Make the dressing: on a cutting board, chop the garlic and anchovies into a paste.
- Transfer garlic paste and anchovy paste into a large bowl. Add Dijon mustard, egg yolks, lemon juice and salt, whisk until combined.
- While constantly whisking, gradually pour in the oil. Keep whisking until thick and smooth. Add grated parmesan and whisk. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Assembly the salad: Rinse and dry and the romaine lettuce. Then, cut or tear into bite-sized pieces. Place into a large bowl.
- Add the croutons and parmesan shavings. Spread the dressing around the edges of the bowl (as shown in the video) and toss the salad to combine using tongs. Add more parmesan cheese and serve.
