\"cd\"<\/a>
\nSalad Dressing:<\/strong>
\n4 whole anchovy fillets
\n2 tablespoons (and up to 3 tablespoons) Dijon mustard
\n1 tablespoon balsamic or red wine vinegar (balsamic makes it nice and rich)
\n1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
\n2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
\n1\/2 whole lemon, juiced
\n1\/2 cup olive oil
\n1\/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
\n1 dash salt
\nFreshly ground black pepper
\nCroutons:
\n1\/2 loaf crusty French bread
\n1\/4 cup olive oil
\n2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
\nSalt<\/p>\n

Salad:<\/strong>
\nHearts of romaine lettuce
\nFresh Parmesan wedge<\/p>\n

For the dressing: Place the anchovies into a blender or food processor. Throw in the Dijon mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic and lemon juice. Pulse the processor or blend on low speed for several seconds. Scrape down the sides.<\/p>\n

With the food processor or blender on, drizzle the olive oil into the mixture in a small stream. Scrape down the sides. Add the Parmesan, salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Pulse the whole thing together and mix until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate the dressing for a few hours (it just gets better!) before using it on the salad.<\/p>\n

For the croutons: Slice the bread into thick slices and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Throw them onto a baking sheet.\u00a0Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan or skillet over low heat.\u00a0Crush-but don’t chop-the garlic and add them to the oil. Use a spoon to move the garlic around in the pan. After 3 to 5 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the garlic from the pan.\u00a0Slowly drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes. Mix together with your hands, and then sprinkle lightly with salt. Toss and cook in the pan until golden brown and crisp. (Add a little butter for more flavor!)<\/p>\n

For the salad: Wash and dry the hearts of romaine lettuce. Leave them whole. Use a vegetable peeler and shave off large, thin slices of Parmesan.\u00a0Drizzle about half of the dressing over the top of the hearts. Throw in a good handful of the Parmesan shavings. Give it a good initial toss, just so you can evaluate how much more dressing you need.\u00a0Add more dressing and Parmesan to taste. Add the cooled croutons. Toss gently.<\/p>\n
