Healthy Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
3 anchovy fillets, blotted with paper towels and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Salt (optional) and freshly ground pepper
3 heads romaine lettuce, washed and torn into pieces
2 cups fat-free croutons
In a food processor or blender, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, anchovy fillets, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan; process for another 5 seconds. Set aside.
Place the romaine in a large salad bowl. Season with salt (if using) and pepper. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the greens; toss to evenly coat.
Add the croutons and toss again. Divide the salad between 12 salad plates; sprinkle each with some of the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve at once. 16 servings
