    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the pumpernickel bread into small cubes and toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

    Wash the romaine hearts and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Add the shaved Parmesan cheese and the baked pumpernickel croutons.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the classic Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately while the croutons are still warm and crispy.
