Step-by-Step Instructions for Parmesan Chopped Salad
  1. Wash and finely chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Rinse in cold water for 1-2 minutes to remove any dirt, then pat dry.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, minced shallots, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently.
  3. In a small jar, mix lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Seal and shake or whisk until emulsified.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Serve immediately in individual plates or a serving bowl, topped with additional Parmesan if desired.
