Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 1 clove garlic cut in half
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • the juice of half a lemon
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 2 dashes hot sauce optional
  • ½ C olive oil

Salad

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 C grana pardaro parmesan cheese
  • 8 slices baguette bread
  • 1 head Romaine lettuce washed, chopped in long pieces

Instructions
 

For the Dressing

  • Combine the garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, anchovies and hot sauce in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • With the food processor still going, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, until the dressing thickens to about a pancake batter consistency.
  • Season with salt and a very health dose of freshly ground pepper.

For the Salad

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Lay your baguette slices on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping the slices once halfway through. Take them out of the oven allow to cool, and roughly chop the slices. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium fry-pan over medium heat. Add the bacon, and fry until crispy, flipping once during cooking. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to cool.
  • Assemble the salad: Arrange the Romaine lettuce on a large serving platter. Top with the bacon and the baguette croutons. Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce and toppings. Top with shaved parmesan cheese, and serve.
