- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Notes
- * To prepare a head of romaine, just chop off the bottom few inches and discard the root. Then, chop the whole head of romaine into about 2-inch pieces. Place the leaves in a salad spinner to be cleaned and spun dry. Then, you can prepare the romaine salad from there, or place the leaves in a bag with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Prepared romaine in general can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- If you want to prepare the salad ahead of time to serve later, wait to pour the dressing on the salad until just before serving.
- Store any prepared salad leftovers in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
