2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 c. olive oil
1 lg. head of Romaine lettuce, shredded
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 to 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 to 1/2 c. pine nuts, toasted lightly

In a small saucepan of boiling water, boil garlic for 10 minutes, drain it well. In a large salad bowl mash it to a paste with the salt. Whisk in the mustard and vinegar, add the oil in a stream, whisking until it emulsifies. Add the Romaine, toss well and season with the pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan and pine nuts over salad.

This salad is especially good with a rich meal, and is also easy to take to "Potluck", etc. I just make the dressing ahead in a jar, and have everything else ready to toss.
