Method

Prepare the Croutons

  1. 1

    Toast the Sourdough

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the sourdough bread into cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Croutons

    Drizzle olive oil over the bread cubes. Sprinkle garlic powder and salt to taste. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through.

Prepare the Caesar Dressing

  1. 4

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the anchovy fillets, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  2. 5

    Emulsify the Dressing

    While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified and creamy. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with black pepper to taste.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad Base

    Wash and chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped Romaine, cherry tomatoes, and croutons.

  3. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

  4. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Shave the pecorino cheese over the top of the salad as a garnish. Serve immediately.
