Salad Base

Garlic Croutons

Toppings

Caesar Dressing

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Cut the romaine lettuce heads in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Make the Croutons

    Cut the baguette into small cubes. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the baguette cubes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Caesar Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    Thinly slice the radishes and set aside. Crumble the Cotija cheese and set aside. Measure out the pepitas.

Grilling the Salad

  1. 5

    Grill the Romaine

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the romaine with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the romaine halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear and the romaine is slightly wilted.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Place the grilled romaine on a serving plate. Drizzle with Caesar dressing, then top with garlic croutons, crumbled Cotija cheese, sliced radishes, and pepitas.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the romaine is warm and the toppings are fresh.
