Instructions
To make the Croutons:
- Place bread cubes into a bowl. Add minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt. Give it a toss, squeezing gently so the bread absorbs the oil.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Transfer seasoned bread into the skillet.
- Cook, stirring frequently until browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer croutons to a bowl and set aside.
To make the Dressing & Assemble the Salad:
- In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, egg yolks, minced garlic, anchovy paste, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. While continuing to whisk constantly, drizzle olive oil into the bowl in a steady stream until fully emulsified.
- Add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and whisk until incorporated.
- Right before serving, add the croutons and drizzle the dressing over romaine lettuce and give it a gentle toss to coat.
- Sprinkle it with more Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- 3 anchovy fillets mashed into a paste with the side of a knife blade.

- Not a fan of anchovies? Use an equal amount of capers or chopped pitted kalamata olives.
- If you can't get your hands on anchovy paste, use 3 anchovy fillets mashed into a paste with the side of a knife blade.
- Not a fan of using raw egg yolks? Replace them with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise.
