These familiar ingredients are Jacques’ easy take on a classic Caesar salad.
2 heads romaine lettuce, cut into 2-inch pieces, washed, and dried
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Divide lettuce between two large salad bowls. In a small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. At serving time, divide the dressing between the salad bowls, and toss to combine with the greens.
