1

Get Your Greens On

Start by washing and drying a bunch of fresh romaine lettuce leaves. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large salad bowl. Feel free to give your lettuce a pep talk to make it extra crispy and green!

2

Crispy Crouton Mission

Now, it's time for a crouton crusade! Grab a few slices of your favorite bread (about 4 slices) and cut them into cubes. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle some garlic powder and salt for extra flavor. Toast them in the oven until they turn golden brown and crunchy. Keep an eye on them, you don't want them to go on a burning rampage!

Parmesan Pow-Wow

Shred some fresh Parmesan cheese and set it aside. It's going to join the salad party later and add a cheesy kick to every bite. Pssst, if you're feeling adventurous, you can even use a mix of Parmesan and your favorite cheese for an extra twist!

Whisk It Up

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy. This zesty dressing is about to bring the salad to life!

5

Anchovy Adventure

Now, we're going to add a little umami to our salad. Grab a can of anchovy fillets and chop them into tiny pieces. If you're not a fan of anchovies, don't worry! You can substitute them with a sprinkle of capers for a tangy twist. Remember, salad adventures are all about exploring your taste preferences!

Toss Like a Boss

Pour the zesty dressing over the romaine lettuce in the salad bowl. Add the crispy croutons, shredded Parmesan cheese (or your cheesy mix), and the chopped anchovies (or capers). Now, get your tossing skills ready and mix everything together until each leaf is coated in deliciousness!
