- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil, (best quality such as Lucini or Colavita)
- Heaping 3/4 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, (or 3 hearts, washed, dried and cut into large, bite-sized pieces)
- 1 large red bell pepper, (chopped)

Steps
-
Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blitz to blend.
-
Place all of the salad ingredients except for the cheese in a large bowl. Right before serving, add about half of the dressing and toss well. Add more dressing little by little as necessary; be sure to dress greens very generously, otherwise salad will be bland. Toss in the cheese, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
