1
Prepare the Romaine
Wash and chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
2
Add the Dressing
Pour the Caesar dressing over the chopped Romaine lettuce and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
3
Add Grana Padano
Grate the Grana Padano cheese and sprinkle it over the dressed Romaine. Toss again to distribute the cheese throughout the salad.

4
Prepare the Bread
Cut the baguette into small cubes, about 1-inch in size.
5
Make Garlic Oil
Mince the garlic cloves and combine them with the olive oil in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.
6
Toss Croutons
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a separate bowl, toss the bread cubes with the garlic oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
7
Bake the Croutons
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
