Croutons

Dressing

Method

Preparation of Croutons

  1. 1

    Make Cornbread Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the cornbread into small cubes (about 1-inch). In a mixing bowl, combine the cornbread cubes, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake Croutons

    Spread the seasoned cornbread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Stir halfway through for even baking. Remove and let cool.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Stir in grated parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the shaved parmesan cheese and the cooled cornbread croutons to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the roasted garlic caesar dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
