Method

Preparation of Croutons

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the bread is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through to ensure even browning. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mash the Agostino Recca anchovy fillets and minced garlic together until a paste forms. Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until combined.

  2. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Salad Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, tear the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the cooled croutons and grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

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

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Optionally, top with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper before serving.
