Cooking Time: 15 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

1. Prepare the lettuce

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Then, tear or cut it into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the croutons

If you prefer homemade croutons, cut stale bread into cubes, toss them with olive oil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown and crunchy, approximately 10-15 minutes. Rotate the croutons halfway through the baking time for an even bake.

3. Prepare the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing with a tablespoon of olive oil. If you enjoy making things from scratch, you can emulsify olive oil, anchovy paste, garlic, egg yolk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to create your own Caesar dressing.

4. Assemble the salad

Add croutons and grated Parmesan cheese to the lettuce. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to coat everything evenly.

5. Serve

Peel and slice a boiled egg and arrange on top of the salad. Finish by seasoning with black pepper to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the salad at its freshest.
