Chop the crisp romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and rinse under cold water. Spin dry to eliminate excess moisture.

In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine, thinly sliced shallots, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Gently stir the mixture.

In a small jar, combine kosher salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Shake vigorously until well blended.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.

Serve immediately in bright bowls, pairing with grilled meats or pasta if desired.
