Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil for croutons
- 0.5 cup Parmesan shavings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch cubes to make croutons. Toss them in 3 tablespoons of olive oil, spread on a baking sheet, and season with a pinch of salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, tossing halfway through.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic cloves, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce hearts thoroughly. Chop them into bite-size pieces.
In a large salad bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the dressing until evenly coated.
Add the homemade croutons and parmesan shavings on top of the dressed salad.
Gently toss again to combine all the ingredients nicely.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Vegetarian Caesar Salad.
