Salad Base

Croutons

Caesar Dressing

Method

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and chop the lettuce

    Thoroughly wash the Romaine lettuce under cold water. Dry using a salad spinner or by patting with a clean towel. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the tomatoes and cucumber

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add both to the bowl with the chopped lettuce.

Making the Croutons

  1. 3

    Prepare the bread

    Cut the French bread into small cubes to create croutons. You will need about 2 cups of bread cubes.

  2. 4

    Season and bake the croutons

    In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.

Preparing the Caesar Dressing

  1. 5

    Mix the dressing ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine the salad and dressing

    Pour the Caesar dressing over the salad base and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

  2. 7

    Add croutons and toppings

    Top the salad with the freshly baked croutons, anchovies (if using), and additional Parmesan cheese.
