Dressing

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Romaine

    Begin by washing the romaine lettuce under cold running water to remove any dirt. Once cleaned, dry the leaves using a salad spinner or paper towels. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare Parmesan Cheese

    Using a grater or a vegetable peeler, shave or grate the Parmesan cheese into thin strips. Set aside for later use.

  3. 3

    Add Croutons

    Measure out 1 cup of croutons. You can use store-bought croutons or make your own by toasting bread cubes in the oven with olive oil and seasoning. Add the croutons to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Pour 0.5 cups of Caesar dressing over the lettuce and croutons. Toss the salad gently to ensure that the dressing evenly coats the lettuce and croutons.

  5. 5

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated or shaved Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad. Toss lightly to combine.
