Instructions
Simple Vinaigrette:
Make the vinaigrette by combining the white wine vinegar, finely minced shallot, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sea salt & freshly cracked pepper, to taste, and a pinch of sugar, to taste, in a small dish.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the vinegar mixture while whisking constantly. Set aside to allow flavors to mingle. Whisk again very well right before serving.
Italian Salad:
Make the salad by placing chopped romaine lettuce in a bowl.
Top with tomato wedges, red onion rings, peperocinis, black olives, croutons, and lots of shaved parmesan. Season with freshly cracked black pepper.
To serve, whisk vinaigrette really well then drizzle some on the salad; toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
