INGREDIENTS

 

About 20-30 small romaine leaves*

About 2 ounces of shaved parmesan reggiano**

Plenty of freshly ground coarse pepper

 

Dressing

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup white balsamic vinegar

½ clove garlic, minced

1 tsp Dijon mustard

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Lay the lettuce leaves on a platter.
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients together in a bowl or measuring cup and drizzle over the leaves. You may not need it all, save it for a few days.
  3. Sprinkle the pepper over the dressed leaves.
  4. Sprinkle with the shaved parmesan cheese

Serves 4

*I’m not a big fan of washing lettuce. I buy the organic box of washed romaine leaves. You can also buy Green Giant Little Gem Lettuce Hearts (shown in the photo).

**Parmesan reggiano can be shaved with a vegetable peeler or you can purchase shaved parmesan in the grocery store
