Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Romaine Lettuce
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Remove any wilted or damaged leaves. Pat the lettuce dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Add the Croutons
Sprinkle the croutons evenly over the chopped romaine lettuce in the salad bowl. This will add a nice crunch to your salad.

Make the Caesar Dressing
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well blended. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
