Instructions
DRESSING
- To a mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, anchovy paste, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and garlic and stir. Whisk in sour cream and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Place in airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
CROUTONS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice bread into slices 3/4-inch thick then cut each slice into cubes. Spread out bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake 5 minutes. While they are baking, in a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Remove baking sheet from the oven and drizzle with garlic oil mixture, toss to combine, then bake 5 minutes.
- Remove sheet from the oven and toss, then bake 5 - 6 minutes longer, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
ASSEMBLE SALAD
- In a large salad bowl toss together lettuce, croutons and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with dressing and toss. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and black pepper if desired.
Notes
- For best results, use a good-quality mayonnaise and real, fresh Parmesan cheese. The kind in a bottle in the pasta aisle won't taste nearly as good as fresh Parm!
