Salad Base

Croutons

Method

Prepare the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Tear Romaine Lettuce

    Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Make the Croutons

  1. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.

  2. 3

    Season the Croutons

    In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 4

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.

Prepare the Dressing

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the torn romaine lettuce to the bowl with the dressing and toss until the lettuce is evenly coated. Add the croutons and shredded parmesan cheese on top.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnishing with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
