Notes

For the best results, use fresh lettuce and homemade croutons. (To make croutons, simply cut bread into small cubes and toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, and salt, then bake at 375°F for about 10 minutes until crispy.) Adjust the amount of dressing according to your preference, and store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week. Don’t forget to add some freshly cracked black pepper for an extra kick of flavor!
