1/3-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1T yellow mustard
~2 T or 15 shakes of Heinz red wine vinegar
1/2 average lemon
1 raw egg
~2/3 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon
Mix all ingredients well.

Clean romaine lettuce. Remove bottom core and outer leaves. Separate all leaves and put in bowl, if you can keep leaves whole.
Wear latex or kitchen gloves and toss leaves in dressing to coat well.

A few notes about making this salad:
-- Taste as you go the first few times you make it. The recipe uses estimated amounts, you might like more cheese, or oil or a saltier or more garlic flavor.
-- Buy a large bag of pecorino romano cheese at a wholesale club and keep in the freezer to always have on hand.
-- She recommended using only the Heinz red wine vinegar, we have used an Alessi brand and it tasted good.
-- Keep a special wooden bowl for making this salad, once you make it a few times the bowl will be nicely seasoned.
