Ingredients
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) mustard
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- – 3/4 cup (180 ml) mayonnaise
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) minced garlic
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) beef paste
- – 1/3 cup (80 g) finely grated cheese
- – 8 oz. (225 g) uncooked pasta, such as rotini or penne
- – 2 hearts of Romaine
- – Shredded beef or chopped chicken breasts
- – Croutons (optional)
- – Cheese, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and beef paste, whisking until they are fully mixed. Incorporate the finely grated cheese and a quarter teaspoon of pepper into the mixture, then set this dressing aside as you prepare the salad.
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until it reaches a firm yet tender texture, approximately 10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and move it to a large serving dish.
- Chop the Romaine hearts into pieces about an inch long, then add them along with your choice of shredded beef or chopped chicken to the bowl containing the pasta.
- Pour the dressing you prepared earlier over the pasta, lettuce, and protein, and gently mix everything together. Optionally, sprinkle croutons on top and finish with a garnish of cheese. Serve right away or cover and chill until you’re ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Enhance the dressing by refrigerating for 30 minutes to blend flavors.
- Select a premium cheese for a more indulgent salad experience.
- Add a touch of vibrancy and freshness with a garnish of parsley or chives.
