Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large romaine lettuce
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 very fresh egg
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 avocado
3 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup seasoned croutons, purchased or homemade

Steps:

Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces, you should have about 12 cups.
Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
Combine garlic and salt in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon into a paste, or (and this is what I do), mash with a mortar and pestle and transfer to a bowl.
Mix garlic paste with lime juice, add egg* and beat until foamy.
Stir in mayo and worcestershire.
This can be made ahead, just cover and refrigerate.
Just before serving, peel, pit and dice avocado.
In a large salad bowl, combine avocado, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, onions and croutons.
Stir dressing and pour over salad then toss until well mixed.
*If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a compromised immune system you may want to consider using a purchased pasteurized egg product.
