Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Dry it using a salad spinner or by patting it with paper towels. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the Parmesan

    Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated and add it to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Croutons

    Add the croutons to the salad bowl, distributing them evenly over the lettuce and cheese.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad. Use tongs to toss the salad gently until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or freshly cracked black pepper.
