Salad Base

Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water and dry with a salad spinner or paper towels. Cut the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Croutons and Parmesan

    Sprinkle the croutons evenly over the chopped romaine lettuce. Grate the Parmesan cheese and add it on top of the croutons.

Preparation of Caesar Dressing

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad base in the bowl. Toss gently until the lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan are well coated with the dressing.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Caesar salad immediately. Optionally, you can add extra Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper on top before serving.
