Time 18m

Yield 4 small salads(2 large)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 heads romaine lettuce
1 -2 garlic clove, finey chopped
extra virgin olive oil
4 thick slices sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 cup)

1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (1 oz.)
pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Discard the tough outer leaves from the romaine and use the whole leaves and hearts. Wash the leaves and dry them in a spinner, or pat dry with a towel. Wrap loosely in a damp towel and refrigerate.

  • Add the garlic to 1 tbls. olive oil and toss with the cubed bread. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  • To make the vinaigrette:.
  • Combine everything but the oil, then whisk it inches The dressing should be very lemony and bright. This makes about 1/2 cup.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The croutons were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I would have preferred them to be softer.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder dressing.

Easy and delicious! I used a store-bought sourdough loaf for the croutons and they were still delicious. The dressing is light and refreshing.
