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

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
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.

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