Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Caesar Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1 minced garlic clove. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash and dry the romaine hearts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the prepared Caesar dressing to the romaine and toss gently to coat. Grate the Grana Padano cheese on top, and add the garlic crostini.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Divide the salad among plates and finish with additional Grana Padano if desired. Serve immediately.
