- Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss well to combine.
- Add croutons and shaved parmesan cheese on top.

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.
