A refreshing and flavorful salad inspired by Mediterranean flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Place the fresh garlic and olive oil in a salad bowl and let it sit for an hour to infuse.
Letting the garlic infuse in the oil enhances the flavor of the dressing.
Remove the garlic from the oil and discard it.
This step ensures the garlic flavor is present without overpowering the salad.
Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
Use your hands to tear the lettuce for a more natural texture.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the lettuce and toss lightly.
Toss gently to evenly coat the lettuce without bruising it.
Add the croutons, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss again.
Season to taste, adjusting the salt and pepper as needed.
Mix in the tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and anchovy fillets.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
