Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Caesar Dressing

    Pour the Caesar dressing over the torn romaine lettuce. Use tongs or salad servers to gently toss the lettuce and dressing together until the leaves are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Parmesan Cheese

    Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dressed lettuce and toss again to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Salad

    Add black pepper and lemon juice to the salad. Toss gently to incorporate the seasoning evenly.

  5. 5

    Add Croutons

    Just before serving, add the croutons to the salad and give it a final gentle toss to ensure they are mixed in without breaking.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the Caesar salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Enjoy your fresh Caesar salad immediately.
