Salad Base

Caesar Dressing

Croutons

Method

Preparing the Croutons

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder and salt. Toss until the bread is coated evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Making the Dressing

  1. 3

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, mash the garlic and anchovy fillets together until a paste forms. Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, and mix well.

  2. 4

    Emulsify the Dressing

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is thick and creamy. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Rinse the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Dry it with a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the torn romaine lettuce, croutons, and Caesar dressing. Toss gently until the lettuce is well coated with the dressing.

  3. 7

    Serve the Salad

    Sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Salad!
