- 1 teaspoon (5ml) dry mustard
- 1 lemon, juiced

- 1 teaspoon (5ml) salt, coarse sea salt is preferred
- ½ cup (125ml) grated parmesan cheese
- Parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved to put on top
Serves 5
Time required 30 minutes
Difficulty level 2
Cost of ingredients 5 USD
Place bread cubes in a bowl with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and half of the salt. Toss to coat and place on a baking sheet before putting in an oven preheated to 350F (175C) and allow to bake until golden brown.
While the croutons are cooking, crush the garlic and rest of the salt into a paste in a large bowl. Add in the anchovies and again crush them into the garlic and salt, forming a paste. Add in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon juice and pepper. Whisk in the oil and combine. Next, add in grated parmesan cheese and whisk until combined.
Add in lettuce and toss to coat all the leaves. Add in croutons and toss again. Serve with shredded or shaved parmesan cheese on top.
This also is wonderful with slices of grilled chicken breast on top!
