Chef's Tips
- Freshness: Use the freshest romaine lettuce for the best crunch and flavor.
- Homemade Croutons: Make your own croutons by toasting cubed bread with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
- Anchovy Substitute: If you don’t like anchovies, you can omit them or use a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Extra Flavor: Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
- Storage: The dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using.
