Method
Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Romaine Lettuce
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Crouton Preparation
- 2
Make the Croutons
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic powder and salt. Toss until the bread is evenly coated. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through.
Dressing Preparation
- 3
Prepare the Caesar Dressing
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with black pepper to taste.
