Instructions
Make the Croutons
Toss the bread cubes with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 375F for 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Prepare the Dressing
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
Add Parmesan to Dressing
Stir half of the grated parmesan into the dressing and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust lemon juice for extra brightness if desired.
Toss the Salad
Place the chopped romaine in a large salad bowl and drizzle the dressing over it. Toss well to ensure every leaf is evenly coated with the dressing.
Top and Serve
Add the croutons and remaining parmesan on top of the salad. Serve immediately so the croutons remain crunchy and the lettuce stays crisp.
