Ingredients 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons olive oil Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 ½ pounds (4 heads) Boston lettuce, torn into pieces 1 cup shaved (2 ounces) Parmesan cheese Directions In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake vinegar, mustard, and oil until combined and thickened; season with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, until ready to serve.) In a large bowl, combine lettuce with dressing and 3/4 cup cheese; toss gently to coat. Divide among plates, and top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Serve immediately. Cook's Notes Use a sturdy vegetable peeler (a wide harp-shape one works best) to shave the Parmesan into long pieces.
