Ingredients

1 head romaine lettuce
½ bulb fennel
1 lemon juiced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Chop the romaine lettuce and finely slice the fennel, removing all ends.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt garlic powder and pepper. Mix until it becomes emulsed together.
Add the romaine and fennel to a large bowl. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss the salad well so that all the romaine is coated. Adjust if extra oil or seasonings are needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Size of romaine heads can vary. To make sure the salad has the perfect amount of dressing, start with a light amount then add more. If you want more, add a bit more of olive oil and seasoning at the end.
