Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cut the bread into cubes, then toss with melted butter. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    In a small bowl, mash the anchovy fillets and minced garlic together. Add lemon juice and olive oil, mixing until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Wash and cut the Little Gem lettuce into quarters. Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce and toss gently to coat. Add the buttered croutons and grated Pecorino Romano cheese on top.
