Method

Salad Preparation

Prepare the Bacon

Cook the smoked bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

Prepare the Lettuce

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Make the Dressing

In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade) with minced garlic to taste.

Combine Ingredients

Add the croutons, chopped bacon, and shredded Parmesan cheese to the bowl with the romaine lettuce. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serve

Plate the salad and garnish with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top. Serve immediately.
