Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Romaine Lettuce
Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl.
Crouton Preparation
- 2
Make the Croutons
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until the bread is well-coated. Spread the bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through for even browning.
Dressing Preparation
- 3
Prepare the Caesar Dressing
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional black pepper if desired.

Assemble the Salad
Once the croutons are ready and cooled, add them to the bowl with the Romaine lettuce. Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently until the lettuce and croutons are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately.
