- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon drained bottled capers
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 14 romaine leaves, washed well, spun dry, the ribs discarded, and the leaves sliced thin (about 3 cups)
- 4 mushrooms, sliced thin
- Mince the garlic and the capers and with the flat side of a knife mash the mixture with the salt to form a paste. In a bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the romaine and the mushrooms and toss the salad well.
