Salad:
Spread prepared lettuce out on the bottom of a large rectangular platter. Working from a narrow side of the platter to the other narrow end, place the remaining ingredients over the lettuce in rows of strips. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Vinaigrette:
In a medium bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
Smash the garlic with the side of a knife until it becomes a paste; add salt; add to the bowl, whisking constantly. Slowly pour in the olive oil in a thin stream until thick and creamy; whisk in the pepper.
Pour dressing over the salad.
Serve.
