1/2 French Baguette (cut in half and thinly sliced, 1/4" thick)

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp minced garlic (2 small cloves)

2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

2 small garlic cloves (minced, 1 tsp)

2 tsp dijon mustard

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 large romaine lettuce (or 2 small heads romaine)

Directions

How to Make Croutons:

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise through the top of the baguette then slice diagonally into 1/4" thick pieces. Place the breads onto a baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 tsp of finely minced garlic. Drizzle the garlic oil over the croutons and sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese.

Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over the baking sheet and bake at 350˚F until light golden and crisp (10-12 minutes), or to desired crispness.

How to Make Caesar Salad Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, dijon, Worcestershire, lemon juice and red wine vinegar.

Slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly.

Whisk in 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, or season to taste.

How to Make Caesar Salad:

Rinse, dry and chop or tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with shredded parmesan cheese and cooled croutons. Drizzle with caesar dressing and toss gently until lettuce is evenly coated.
