Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces if needed. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Add the sliced corned beef, diced Swiss cheese, drained sauerkraut, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced dill pickles to the lettuce.
Sprinkle the caraway seeds (if using), salt, and black pepper over the salad for added flavor.
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the salad, starting with 1/3 cup and adding more to taste. Toss gently to evenly coat the ingredients.
Top the salad with the toasted rye bread croutons for a crunchy texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Hearty Reuben Salad!
