Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Caesar Dressing
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Prepare the Baby Gem Lettuce
Wash and dry the baby gem lettuce. Cut each head in half lengthwise and arrange on a serving platter.
Make Herb Croutons
Cut day-old bread into cubes and toss with olive oil, salt, and your choice of herbs (like thyme or oregano). Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Assemble the Salad
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the baby gem lettuce halves. Grate Parmigiano Reggiano over the top and add the herb croutons.
Serve
Finish with more black pepper and serve immediately.
