  • ½ cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana
  • 2 cups croutons, optional

  1. In a large bowl, add the lemon juice, garlic, anchovy, mustard, salt, and pepper. and wisk well. Add the mayo and wish again. Slowly add the olive oil and wish to achieve a good emulsification. Add the greens, croutons (optional) and red onions and toss well. Finally, grate as much cheese as you'd like and give the salad one last toss (don't grate too much because you'll loose all the nice flavors from the garlic, anchovy, etc.).
