Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any wilted leaves. Pat dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

    Chop the Lettuce

    Chop the cleaned romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Cheddar Cheese

    Grate or cube the cheddar cheese and add it to the bowl with the chopped romaine.

  4. 4

    Add Croutons

    Sprinkle the croutons over the romaine and cheese mixture.

Dressing

  1. 5

    Choose Your Dressing

    Select either Caesar dressing or golden Italian dressing based on your preference. You can use both if you like.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Pour your chosen dressing over the salad mixture. Start with half a cup and adjust to taste.

  3. 7

    Toss the Salad

    Using salad tongs or two large spoons, gently toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with dressing.
