Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cups Blue cheese crumbles
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups French bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for croutons)
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the croutons by cutting French bread into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix it with olive oil and garlic powder. Toss the bread cubes in this mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl.
In a small blender or food processor, combine blue cheese crumbles, Parmesan cheese, garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil (0.25 cups), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce and toss evenly to coat.
Add the croutons to the salad, tossing gently to distribute them.
Sprinkle additional blue cheese crumbles and Parmesan cheese on top for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
