- Transfer the baguette to a cutting board and rub it with garlic cloves.
Make the dressing:
- Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice from the grilled lemon halves into a small bowl and whisk in with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until combined, and stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Salad:
- In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine and celery with 1/4 cup dressing and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
Assemble:
- Drizzle the remaining dressing on the baguette, layer with sliced grilled chicken, celery salad, and sliced tomatoes, and sprinkle with shaved parmesan. Cut each in half to make four sandwiches. Serve.
