Salad Base

Caesar Dressing

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Lettuce

    Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Croutons

    If using store-bought croutons, measure out 1 cup. If making homemade croutons, cut day-old bread into cubes, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, and seasonings, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Grate Parmesan Cheese

    Use a cheese grater to shred or grate the parmesan cheese until you have about half a cup. Set aside.

Making the Caesar Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Whisk and Emulsify

    Whisk the ingredients together until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsified dressing.

  3. 6

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 7

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated parmesan cheese.

  2. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad mixture, using a generous amount according to your taste preference.

  3. 9

    Toss and Serve

    Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing. Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
