Method
Preparing the Salad Base
- 1
Wash and Tear Lettuce
Rinse the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and pesticides. Shake off excess water and tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare Croutons
If using store-bought croutons, you can skip this step. Otherwise, cube stale bread and toss it with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Grate Parmesan Cheese
Using a grater, shred the Parmesan cheese into fine pieces. Set aside for later use.
Making the Dressing

Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic clove.

Whisk Together
Using a whisk or a fork, mix the ingredients together until they are fully combined and emulsified. Taste the dressing and add salt and black pepper to your preference.
Assembling the Salad

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without bruising the lettuce.
