2 kinds of lettuce, (red leaf and iceberg or butter)
washed and crisped
Fresh Parmesan cheese, high quality, freshly grated
paste made of fresh garlic, salt and olive oil
salt & pepper
Dressing:
1 T. Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt & pepper
1/2 c. salad oil, or mixture of olive oil and vegetable oil
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice
- In advance wash and spin the lettuce. Chill.
- Make a paste in a wooden salad bowl by smashing the garlic and mixing it with olive oil and salt. Rub all over the bowl.
- Break lettuces into bite size pieces. I figure one handful per person to portion.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over salad. Cover with a damp paper towel and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Make and chill the dressing. This can be done a day in advance.
- Use enough dressing to make the lettuce glisten.
- Sprinkle with more fresh Parmesan if desired.
