This simple salad is a classic for a reason. It’s crisp, refreshing, and full of texture. The combination of romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons is always a winner.
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup croutons
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and croutons.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
4. Serve immediately.
Tips:
For a Caesar salad twist, add grilled chicken or shrimp and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Use homemade croutons for extra flavor and crunch.
This salad can be made ahead of time, but add the croutons just before serving to keep them crispy.
