Begin by taking your fresh romaine lettuce and rinsing it thoroughly under cold water. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and dry it using a salad spinner or a clean towel.

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine with finely sliced shallots and generous shavings of Parmesan cheese. Toss the ingredients together to ensure even distribution.

Prepare the dressing by mixing equal parts lemon juice and olive oil in a small jar. Add kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Shake well until emulsified.

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat every piece evenly with the dressing.

Serve immediately in individual bowls or on a large platter, enjoying its refreshing crunch.
