Salad Preparation

Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean towel or spin in a salad spinner. Chop or tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Add the Dressing
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the chopped romaine lettuce. Start with 1/4 cup and add more if desired. Toss the lettuce gently with tongs or your hands to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.

Incorporate Cheese
Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese over the dressed romaine lettuce. Reserve a small amount for garnishing if desired.
