Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Pat it dry or use a salad spinner.

  3. Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the bowl with the lettuce.
  4. Grate or shave the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the salad mixture.
Dressing
  1. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Serving

  2. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, ideally with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top.

Notes

For extra crunch and nutritional benefits, consider adding nuts or seeds. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, ideally storing dressing separately until ready to serve.
