Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Add Dressing

    Pour the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

Calamari Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Breading

    In one bowl, whisk together the eggs. In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Bread the Calamari

    Dip each calamari ring first into the egg mixture, then coat it in the cornmeal mixture until evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 7

    Fry the Calamari

    Carefully add the breaded calamari to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 8

    Drain the Calamari

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried calamari and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
