Salad Ingredients

  • 1 head romaine lettuce Use fresh for the best crunch
  • 1 cup croutons Homemade from day-old bread is an option
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese Use a block and shave it yourself for better flavor
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing Made from olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies
  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust according to preference

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies until smooth to make the dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss well to combine.
  • Add croutons and shaved parmesan cheese on top.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store dressing separately to prevent sogginess and keep croutons aside until serving to maintain crunch. For leftovers, use in wraps or toss into pasta. Can also pair with grilled chicken or salmon for protein.
