Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large garlic clove, smashed and skin removed
1 1/2 (7-ounce) packages whole romaine heart leaves, broken into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces, washed, and spun dry (about 10 cups broken romaine leaves)
1 cup toasted croutons, homemade or store-bought
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 large egg, preferably pasteurized (see Cooks' notes)
1/2 cup deeply fruity extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste
2 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Special Equipment
Large wooden salad bowl; pushpin

Steps:

  • Rub the bottom and sides of a very large wooden salad bowl well with garlic; discard garlic.
  • Add romaine, croutons, and Parmigiano-Reggiano to bowl and toss lightly.
  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer over moderate heat, pierce the large end of the egg with a pushpin, then ease the egg into the simmering water. As soon as water returns to a simmer, coddle (simmer) the egg 1 minute exactly. Remove the egg to a small ramekin or bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salad greens but do not toss.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a small liquid measure. Drizzle over the salad and toss lightly.
  • Break the coddled egg into the salad and again toss lightly.
  • Taste the salad for lemon juice, salt, and pepper and adjust as needed.
  • Set the salad bowl on the dining table and serve as a first course. It's the California way.

I've been making this salad for years and it's always a favorite. It's so easy to make and the dressing is always a hit. I love to add grilled chicken or shrimp to the salad for a heartier meal.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit bland and the croutons were a bit too soft. I would recommend using a more flavorful dressing and crispier croutons.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was perfect! It was easy to transport and the dressing didn't get soggy. The salad was also very flavorful and everyone enjoyed it.

This salad was a bit too rich for my taste. The dressing was very creamy and the croutons were a bit too crunchy. I would recommend using a lighter dressing and softer croutons.
