Salad Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any damaged or wilted leaves. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
- 2
Add Croutons
Sprinkle the croutons evenly over the torn Romaine lettuce in the bowl.
- 3
Add Parmesan Cheese
Grate the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the salad, making sure to distribute it evenly.
- 4
Dress the Salad
Pour the Caesar dressing over the salad. Start with a quarter cup, and you can add more later if desired.
- 5
Toss the Salad
Using salad tongs or your hands, gently toss all the ingredients together until the lettuce is well-coated with the dressing, and the croutons and cheese are evenly distributed.
- 6
Season to Taste
Sprinkle black pepper over the tossed salad to taste. Mix again lightly.
- 7
Serve
Serve immediately in individual bowls or plates for the best texture and flavor.
