Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Grate Parmesan

    Grate the Parmesan cheese using a cheese grater or food processor, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make Croutons

    Cut the sourdough bread into bite-sized cubes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Making the Caesar Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Toss the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
