Category
Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 mins
For the salad dressing:
 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
 2 tsp lemon juice
 1 tsp anchovy paste
 1 tsp Dijon mustard
 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
 ½ tsp kosher salt
 freshly ground black pepper
 ½ cup Parmesan, freshly grated
 1 cup Mayonnaise
For the salad:
 2 heads of lettuce, washed and chopped
 3 slices French bread, cubed
 3 tbsp butter
 1 garlic clove, pressed
 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for garnish
 ¼ tsp garlic powder
1

Preheat the oven to 350. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 15-30 seconds. Add bread cubes and toss. Season with garlic powder and salt to taste. Move the bread cubes to a baking sheet and bake, stirring frequently and watching not to burn, for about 15 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and toss with a tablespoon or two of Parmesan cheese.

2

Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together. Ideally, do so couple of hours or the day before serving, so that the flavours could meld. However, the dressing may be used right away.

3

Toss lettuce with the dressing. It should be well coated but not swimming in the dressing - do not overdress. Add croutons and shave some fresh Parmesan cheese on top. Serve.
