- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced, about 1/2 tsp.
- 1/2 lemon juice only, about 2 Tbsp.
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce for a vegetarian and gluten-free option use 6 drops hot sauce and 1/4 tsp. sugar per each Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. anchovy paste, or use seasoned soybean or miso paste
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the lettuce, cheese, and croutons or pita chips (optional).
- For the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovy paste.
- Toss the salad gently with the dressing just before serving.
