Ingredients diff
- 1 large head romaine hearts, chopped
- 3 anchovy fillets, minced
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 large egg yolk (pasteurized preferred)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more to finish
- 1 1/2 cups croutons
Steps diff
- Whisk anchovy, garlic, yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a large bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle in olive oil slowly while whisking to build a thick, clingy emulsion.
- Stir in parmesan, black pepper, and salt, then adjust with a little more lemon if needed.
- Add romaine and toss until every leaf is evenly coated but not heavy.
- Finish with croutons and extra parmesan and serve right away.
Technique notes diff
- Cold emulsified dressing | Fine droplets of fat suspend in water phase for cling. | It distributes flavor across every leaf.
- Acid, salinity, and texture balancing | In no-cook dishes, contrast between acidity, seasoning, and texture drives flavor intensity and perceived freshness. | This recipe relies on bright seasoning and contrast instead of heat-driven browning for depth.
