Salad Base

Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Lettuce

    Rinse the Romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a paper towel and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Croutons

    You can use store-bought croutons or make your own. If making your own, cubed bread can be tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and toasted in the oven until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Grate Parmesan

    Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the Parmesan cheese into fine shavings.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

  2. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as desired. You may add more salt, lemon juice, or pepper according to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped Romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 7

    Add Dressing

    Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to serving plates or a serving bowl, and enjoy immediately.
