Salad Base

Croutons

Dressing (optional)

Method

Preparing the Croutons

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the focaccia bread into cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Croutons

    Drizzle the olive oil over the focaccia cubes, then add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all pieces are coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned focaccia cubes evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Romaine

    While the croutons are baking, wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 5

    Add the Cheese

    Once the croutons are done and cooled slightly, add them to the bowl with the romaine lettuce. Sprinkle the shaved parmesan cheese on top.

  3. 6

    Add Dressing

    If using Caesar dressing, drizzle it over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
