The first salad I’ve enjoyed as a main course! Simply delicious!

For the dressing, put the first 10 ingredients (oil up to and including the egg yolk) in a tightly sealed jar. Shake vigorously. For the croutons (if desired, the salad tastes absolutely delicious without croutons too), add whole garlic cloves, butter, and bread cubes to a pan and brown. Only add some dried Italian herbs in the last few minutes to prevent the herbs from burning and becoming bitter. To serve, put the Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Add the romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces, and the dressing over it. If the lettuce isn’t damp from washing, add 1-2 tablespoons more water and mix everything together. Scatter the croutons over the top and serve. The amount given here is easily enough for one person as a main course or two large portions.
