Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sear the Lettuce

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the romaine lettuce pieces and sear for about 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted and charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the cherry tomatoes and toss to coat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the seared romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to serving plates and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
