Time 10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 heads romaine lettuce
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and cut in half
1/4 cup mizithra cheese, grated (my addition)
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (dark or white)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small non-reactive bowl whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients except for the oil.
  • Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking. Set dressing aside.
  • Remove the root ends from each head of lettuce and cut the heads in half crosswise. Then cut the heads in three parts lengthwise.
  • Arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter. Garnish with the Kalamata olives and spoon the vinaigrette over the salad.
  • Sprinkle the myzithra cheese (if using) on top and serve. Add a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
  • Or cover and chill until ready to serve.
