Omar Acosta | Tampa Garlic Salad (Must Love Garlic)

Ingredients

Put the pressed garlic in a large bowl (if you like salad, get a large wooden salad bowl… yes, it makes a big difference) and pour in the oil. Stir it up, making sure all the garlic is covered by the oil and let it sit 15-30 minutes. Pour in the vinegar. Whisk very well to mix. Throw in your romaine. Toss well to coat. ENJOY! 4 hearts of romaine, sliced horizontally into 1 inch pieces 6 large cloves of garlic 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (get the real thing, not out of a canister) 1/4 t salt (I use double, but use 1/4 your first time and taste to your liking) Preparation

1/2 t cracked black pepper (same here, I use more but taste as you toss)

Omar’s Tip: There is no science to back this up, but I’ve come to believe pressing garlic gives you more garlic flavor than mincing when using garlic raw.
