How to Make Romaine Hearts with Parmesan Lime Dip

1. Make the Parmesan Lime Dip

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime zest, lime juice, grated Parmesan cheese, a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly mixed.

2. Serve with Romaine Hearts

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Arrange the romaine heart leaves on a platter alongside the dip for serving.

3. Store Leftovers

If there are any leftovers, store the dip in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to a week and can be used as a traditional dressing or a dip for other crudité.

Pitfalls and tips

Choose Quality Ingredients

Select crisp, bright green romaine hearts and freshly grate Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at home for the best flavor and texture.

Chilling and Resting

Allow the dip to rest in the refrigerator to meld the flavors and taste again before serving for any final adjustments.

Balance the Dressing

Use freshly squeezed lime juice and consider adding lime zest for a vibrant flavor, but avoid including the bitter white pith.

Check the Temperature

Serve the romaine chilled and consider chilling the serving platter for a refreshing contrast.

Presentation Matters

Trim the romaine neatly and consider garnishing the dip with extra Parmesan or lime zest for visual appeal.
