Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any wilted outer leaves. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Add the Cherry Tomatoes

Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water. Halve each tomato and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

Slice the Cucumber

Peel the cucumber if desired. Slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, then add to the salad bowl.

Add Croutons and Parmesan

Sprinkle the croutons over the salad mixture, and then add the grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Dressing Preparation

Prepare the Dressing

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the Dressing

Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Combine and Serve

Dress the Salad

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Serve

Serve the Caesar salad immediately while fresh. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.
