Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lardons

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lardons until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Toast the Focaccia

    Cut the focaccia into bite-sized pieces and toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the baby romaine, crispy lardons, and toasted focaccia. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss gently to coat.

  4. 4

    Add Parmesan and Season

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Serve immediately.
