Prepare the Salad Base

Wash and Chop Romaine

Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any damaged outer leaves. Pat dry with a towel and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

Grate the Parmesan Cheese

Using a grater, grate the Parmesan cheese into a bowl and set aside.

Prepare the Bread

Cut the slices of bread into small cubes.

Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings

In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until well coated.

Bake the Croutons

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Prepare the Caesar Dressing

Combine Dressing Ingredients

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

Mix Until Smooth

Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well blended. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble the Salad

Combine All Ingredients

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

Add Dressing

Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are well coated.
