Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Parmesan Crisp

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 tablespoons each) on the parchment, spacing them apart. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool and then remove from the parchment.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    Wash and chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped Romaine, halved grape tomatoes, and croutons.

  3. 3

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture and toss to combine evenly.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad and add the Parmesan crisps. Serve immediately.
