Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble into pieces.

  3. 3

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, crumbled bacon, and croutons.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic (you can mince it using a garlic press), lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined.

  2. 5

    Season the Dressing

    Add salt and black pepper to the dressing, adjusting to taste. Mix well to ensure even distribution of seasoning.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Toss the Salad

    Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently until the lettuce, bacon, and croutons are evenly coated with the dressing.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
