Equipment

  • 1 mixer
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 frying pan

Ingredients

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Freshly ground black pepper, as desired

Croutons

  • 2 cups soft baguette, sliced in cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, spray on
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Salad

  • 6 cups Romaine Lettuce
  • 6 eggs, sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ pound bacon
  • ½ cup Parmesan, shaved

Instructions

Dressing

  • Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
  • Add cold water a little at a time if the dressing is too thick.

Croutons

  • Cut the bread into cube sizes. Lightly oil the baking sheet then place the bread cubes. Sprinkle garlic powder on top.
  • Place in the oven at 350º degrees for about 25 minutes. Let cook for 10 minutes then mix around and return to the oven. When golden brown remove and place on a dish to cool off.

Bacon

  • Cut the bacon into half strips and place in pan on medium heat. Flip on the other side once brown and crispy on one side and repeat. Drain the bacon on a plate with paper towels underneath to the plate to drain the grease. Let cool at room temperature.

Salad

  • Wash and cut the hearts of romaine lettuce, and let dry completely so it will not make the crotons soggy.
  • In a large bowl place a single layer of lettuce, place following on top of the lettuce, cut the boiled eggs, tomatoes, and bacon, then croutons on top.
  • Shave the Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle the salad dressing on top. Add salt and pepper as deserved. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I make my salad dressing first and keep it in the refrigerator until time to serve.
  • When I serve the salad, I will serve the dressing on the side so my husband can place as much dressing as he wants. He loves a lot of salad dressing and I like a little dressing on top.
