Method
Preparing the Salad
Wash and Chop the Romaine
Start by washing the romaine lettuce under cold water. Dry it thoroughly using a salad spinner or by patting it with paper towels. Then, chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Prepare the Parmesan
Grate the Parmesan cheese using a cheese grater. Set aside.
Making Croutons
Prepare the Bread
Cut the bread slices into small cubes, about 1-inch in size.
Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings
In a mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.
Bake the Croutons
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the seasoned bread cubes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Making Caesar Dressing
Combine Ingredients
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic (finely chop the garlic clove), and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more black pepper or lemon juice if desired.
Assembling the Salad
Combine Ingredients
In the large salad bowl with the chopped romaine, add the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the Dressing
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Serve
Serve the salad immediately for the best texture. Enjoy your Caesar salad!
