Classic Salad Recipe
- 1 small garlic clove, chopped
- 1 anchovy fillet packed in oil, drained, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup (or more) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 9-ounce head of freshest-possible lettuce, leaves separated, torn if large (about 6 cups)
- 1/2 cup minced chives
- Using a wooden spoon, mash garlic, anchovy, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in vinegar, then 1/4 cup oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more oil, if desired. Add lettuce leaves and chives just before serving and toss to coat.
