Ingredients
2 Heads washed, Romaine lettuce
1 Egg (boiled for 1 minute)
4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
4 tbsp Red wine vinegar
6 tbsp Olive oil
Juice from 1/2 lemon
8oz Pkg shredded parmesan cheese
Salt, pepper to taste
Preparation
Wash and dry lettuce. Tear into bite sized pieces into large pot. Add minced garlic. Boil water in small pan. Add egg to boiling water for one minute only to kill off potential bacteria. To the lettuce add egg, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil. Mix. Add cheese. Mix. Taste and adjust oil, vinegar and lemon as needed.
Cook's Notes
Most of the time is taken by washing and drying the lettuce to remove bugs, sand etc. I prefer to use my hand to mix. After you make the salad a few times, you get the knack and it becomes a staple. I love garlic, so I put in anywhere from four to six cloves.
