    How to Make Crisp Romaine Hearts with Zesty Lemon Cream Dressing

    1. Prepare Romaine Lettuce

    Remove the outer darker green leaves from the two heads of romaine lettuce. Cut off the stem end and separate the remaining leaves. Wash the leaves thoroughly and spin-dry them in batches using a salad spinner.

    2. Make the Dressing Base

    In a large bowl, stir together the white wine vinegar, grated lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, salt, and fresh-ground black pepper.

    3. Emulsify the Dressing

    Gradually whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil and heavy cream. Whisk until the dressing becomes creamy and cohesive.

    4. Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing for salt and acidity, adjusting if necessary with a bit more salt or lemon juice.

    5. Toss the Salad

    Gently toss the romaine leaves with the prepared dressing in a large bowl. Ensure the leaves are lightly but evenly coated.
