Light caesar salad with homemade croutons

INGREDIENTS
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 lemons, juiced
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 head romaine lettuce, cleaned and sliced
• ½ cup finely grated parmesan
• 1 cup homemade croutons (see recipe below)

PROCEDURE
1. In a bowl, combine the garlic, salt, mustard and lemon.
2. Stir in olive oil. Toss with lettuce, cheese and croutons.
3. Season with additional pepper as desired.

TIPS
Traditionally, the dressing is prepared with an egg yolk to emulsify. This recipe eliminates that ingredient to lower the fat content and produce a lighter vinaigrette type of dressing. Anchovies can be added for a more traditional flavor, just reduce the amount of sea salt to half.
