1/3 cup olive oil

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Dressing:
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon anchovy paste

Salad:
2 containers Romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
For the croutons:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil.
In a large bowl combine the bread cubes, olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan
and cook until golden brown, 8-10 minutes…turn the pan halfway through to toast evenly.
Put the croutons back into the bowl and toss with the parmesan cheese. Allow to cool.
For the dressing:
Combine the egg yolk, anchovies, garlic and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the mustard,
Worcestershire and blend until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper and add the
parmesan and whisk to combine.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Add the vinegar and lemon juice and stir to combine.
In a large bowl toss the romaine with the desired amount of dressing and garnish with croutons.
