Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until all ingredients are well combined and the dressing is smooth.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine the Salad

    Pour the Caesar dressing over the chopped romaine lettuce in the salad bowl. Toss gently to ensure that the lettuce is evenly coated with the dressing.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the grated Romano cheese and spiced croutons over the top of the salad. Toss again lightly to incorporate the toppings.
