  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Chop the romaine lettuce and finely slice the fennel, removing all ends.

  • 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.
