Ingredients

• 1 medium head of garlic
• 1 Tablespoon drained capers
• 1 Clove raw garlic
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 Anchovy fillets
• 1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 Teaspoon whole grain mustard
• 2 Tablespoons vegan mayo/Greek yogurt
• 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/3 Cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Head romaine lettuce, cut or torn into pieces
• 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 400.
Trim the top 1/4 inch off the garlic bulb. Place the bulb on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover it. Drizzle the bulb with EVOO and a sprinkle of salt. Make a package with the aluminium foil, sealing the ends around the bulb. Place the garlic in the oven and roast until cloves are golden brown soft, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the garlic and when it is cool enough to handle, squeeze the sides of the garlic to remove the creamy cloves from the outer skin.

In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the oil and blend to combine. Slowly stream in the oil through the hole in the lid until all is added and the dressing is emulsified.

In a salad bowl, combine the lettuce, celery, and Parmesan. Toss well with 1/4 cup of the dressing and serve.
