4 servings

Ingredients

1/3 cup low-fat or nonfat Greek-style yogurt
2 anchovy fillets, mashed
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large head of romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk in the oil and half of the cheese; season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the romaine with half the dressing and the remaining cheese. Serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table.

Notes

First course to main course: Oliver turns this into a more substantial salad with broiled, flaked salmon or grilled chicken breast.
