5 cloves of garlic, divided (two minced, 3 cut in fourths)
6 anchovy fillets, minced
¾ cup mayonnaise
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
3 cups of cubed white bread
1 head of Romaine lettuce, sliced into bite-size pieces
Instructions
In a small bowl combine mayo, minced garlic, anchovy fillets, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste
To make croutons: heat ¼ cup olive oil in a heavy skillet and add the quartered garlic cloves. Cook them until they turn golden brown and remove them from the skillet.
Add the cubed bread to the garlic oil and cook until lightly toasted. Remove from the skillet onto a paper towel-covered plate and season with salt and pepper
Put the cut lettuce in a bowl, add the dressing, and toss to coat. Serve with croutons and the rest of the Parmesan cheese on top
