Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Romaine Lettuce
Wash the romaine lettuce under cold running water. Shake off excess water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Remove the leaves from the stem, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the Croutons
If using store-bought croutons, skip this step. If making homemade croutons, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut bread into small cubes, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crunchy, stirring occasionally.

Grate the Parmesan Cheese
Using a grater, grate the Parmesan cheese into fine shreds for topping the salad.
Dressing Preparation

Make the Caesar Dressing
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
