Method

Prepare the Croutons

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the artisan bread into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Croutons

    Drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Prepare the Caesar Dressing

    Mix the Dressing

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Whisk Together

    Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    Sprinkle the Pecorino Romano cheese over the romaine. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the top.
