1 head romaine lettuce
1 croutons (opens in new tab)
- 7/16 lbs crusty bread like ciabatta, baguette, or sourdough cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
- 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Sub-recipe steps
1. Cut the bread into even 3/4-inch cubes so they bake at the same rate. Alternatively, tear the bread for a more rustic texture.
2. Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the oil evenly over the bread, then sprinkle your seasonings. Toss gently until every piece is coated.
3. Spread the bread cubes out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding so they crisp up properly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Stir or flip the croutons halfway through the baking time to ensure all sides brown evenly.
5. Once the croutons are golden and crisp, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. They will crisp up even more as they cool.
1 Rotisserie chicken
0.5 Caesar Salad Dressing (opens in new tab)
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano finely grated
- 1 tbsp roasted garlic
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 white anchovies
- 0.5 egg yolk
- 5/8 cup canola oil
Sub-recipe steps
1. Combine the cheese, roasted garlic, vinegar, mustard, anchovies and egg yolk in a food processor.
2. Blend until a smooth paste has been formed. If necessary, add 2 tablespoons water to ensure it is a smooth paste, and not clumpy.
3. With the machine running, emulsify the oil into the paste in a steady stream.
4. Add more water or vinegar as necessary, depending on how loose or acidic you prefer the dressing.
