Ingredients:

• 1 head of Romaine
• 1/3 cup of olive oil with about 3 cloves of garlic pressed into it (or cut, or whatever)
• 3 tbsp of regular red vinegar
• Lots of Worcester sauce (probably about 5-6 healthy shakes of the bottle)
• 1 lemon, cut in half and squeezed into the salad
• Salt
• Pepper
• Parmasean cheese

Chef’s Notes:
Everything can go in all at once, though I basically put it in in the order I wrote it out for you. I wait and put the cheese on last minute so it doesn’t get super soggy. And yes, it goes very well with lasagna—any Italian food, actually.

Great summer salad, or if you have a good grocery store, great anytime salad.
