Step-01: Begin by chopping the white bread into cubes. The size of the cubes can vary depending on how large you prefer your croutons. Heat a large pan over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step-02: Toss the bread cubes into the pan, making sure they are well-coated with the olive oil. Add the crushed garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir everything together until the bread cubes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step-03: Toast the croutons in the pan, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove them from the heat and set them aside.
Step-04: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, chopped parsley, crushed garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add a small amount of chilled water to the mixture to achieve the desired consistency for your dressing. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Step-05: Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl. Add the prepared croutons to the bowl. Pour the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and croutons.
Step-06: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Toss the salad gently using tongs, ensuring that the dressing coats the lettuce and croutons evenly.
