Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine the cubed bread, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until the bread is evenly coated. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  2. 2

    Bake the Croutons

    Bake the croutons in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through to ensure even browning. Remove from oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the Caesar dressing and toss until the lettuce is well coated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Top the salad with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and the homemade croutons. Serve immediately.
