Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Caesar Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped oil-cured anchovies until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Parmesan Crisps

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 tablespoons each) and flatten them slightly. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Let them cool before serving.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic Breadcrumbs

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic bread crumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Rinse and dry the Little Gem lettuce, then cut each head in half lengthwise. Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and top with Parmesan crisps and garlic breadcrumbs.
