Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes. In a bowl, combine the bread cubes with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through for even baking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    While the croutons are baking, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the romaine with Caesar dressing and toss well to coat.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the croutons are ready, add them to the salad along with the grated Grana Padano cheese. Toss gently and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
