Ingredients

  • Dressing

  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions

  1. 1
    In a food processor combine the egg yolk, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, and Worcestershire. Pulse the mixture together until garlic is finely chopped.
  2. 2
    Then, while continuing to pulse, add the olive oil in a very patient, slow, steady stream to produce a smooth, creamy mayonnaise like emulsion.
  3. 3
    Add the anchovy, pulse for 30 seconds, and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days).
  4. 4
    Place lettuce into 6 individual salad bowls (if wooden, smear with additional clove of garlic).
  5. 5
    Pour desired amount of dressing over top of each salad.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle with croutons, Parmesan cheese, and optional bacon bits.
