Ingredients

2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 1/2 pounds (4 heads) Boston lettuce, torn into pieces

1 cup shaved (2 ounces) Parmesan cheese

Preparation

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.
