Easy Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons

Steps

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the bread cubes on a sheet pan with the oil, garlic powder and salt.
Bake, stirring once, until golden and crunchy. Let them cool on the pan.
While they bake, whisk the mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, anchovies and garlic in a bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, pepper and enough water to make it pourable.
Wash the romaine and dry it very well in a salad spinner. Tear or chop it into bite-size pieces.
Just before serving, toss the romaine with about two-thirds of the dressing until every leaf is coated. Add more to taste.
Top with the croutons and Parmesan and serve right away.
