Dice garlic and set aside (letting the garlic sit for 10 minutes before using actually increases the nutrient quality!)
Rinse the shells of the 2 eggs in cold water. Separate the yolks from the white. (Refrigerate egg white for up to 4 days.)
Place the yolks in a small bowl.
Whisk in the garlic.
Mince the anchovies and whisk into the egg and garlic mixture.
Pour the olive oil in a steady stream, slowly but continuously, whisking constantly, until the dressing has thickened into a creamy vinaigrette.
Whisk in the lemon juice and mustard.
Fold in the Parmesan and black pepper.
Wash and dry lettuce. Place in a large bowl and mix with some of the dressing, until well-coated.
Transfer coated lettuce to plates, top with chickpeas, Parmesan, and black pepper. Serve and savor the flavors!!!
*Extra dressing may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I like using Mason jars.
**Be sure to keep the dressing refrigerated at all times since it contains raw egg yolks.
***This salad is great for your bones! Egg yolks from *pastured* chickens contain Vitamin K2 because when they spend time in the sunlight, their bodies are able to synthesize this important nutrient. Also, romaine lettuce is rich in folate and Vitamin A, which are vital for bone health!
