    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped lettuce into a large salad bowl.

    In a bowl, combine the Texas toast cubes, garlic powder, olive oil, and salt. Toss everything together until the bread is evenly coated.

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
