Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 1 head of green leaf lettuce chopped
  • 1 can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin 1-inch strips, or chopped
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 cup parmesean, shredded you can substitute Mozzarella but I do prefer the Parmesean.
  • 1/2 pound salami diced into 1/4 inch cubes, or chopped is fine

The Dressing

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 egg - whole
  • 1 egg - yolk 2 total eggs, 1 is the entire egg, plus one additional egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly sq
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1 tbsp tarragon fresh is great but dried will totally work.
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • For the dressing, combine all ingredients except for the olive oil in a blender or food processor, and blitz until well combined. With the blender running on high, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create a nice emulsification.
  • Combine salad ingredients in a bowl and toss with dressing. Do you really need me to explain how to dress a salad? Now eat!
