Salad Base

Croutons

Caesar Dressing

Method

Prepare the Croutons

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes (about 1-inch). In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through for even baking. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Make the Dressing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 4

    Season the Dressing

    Add salt and black pepper to the dressing to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel or spin in a salad spinner. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 6

    Add Dressing and Croutons

    Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the lettuce and toss gently to coat. Add the croutons and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired.
