Ingredients
  

1 large head of romaine lettuce, washed and chopped

1 cup of croutons (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lettuce: Start by thoroughly washing the romaine lettuce under cool running water. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

    Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chopped lettuce. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.

      Dress the Salad: Pour the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and cheese mixture. Use tongs or salad servers to gently toss everything together until the lettuce is well coated.

        Add Croutons: Just before serving, add the croutons to the salad for that perfect crunch. Toss them lightly with the salad to avoid them becoming soggy.

          Season and Serve: Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty twist, if desired.
