Ingredients

• 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free croutons
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free anchovy paste
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, gluten-free
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the romaine lettuce. Rinse the lettuce hearts thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner.

Step 2

Chop or tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place into a large salad bowl and set aside.

Step 3

To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the dressing mixture while whisking continuously to emulsify until the dressing is creamy and thick.

Step 5

Season the dressing with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly with the dressing.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and gluten-free croutons over the top of the dressed salad.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
