Step by Step Method

Step 1

CROUTONS: While bread is still fresh, gently cut into 3/4" cubes with a serrated knife. Let cubes dry out. If you're in a hurry, you can put them in the oven at 200 degrees for a bit. Otherwise just leave them out , loosely covered, overnight.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 3

In blender, puree garlic, butter and olive oil.

Step 4

Transfer to saucepan and heat until just below a simmer.

Step 5

Toss with bread crumbs and bake for 5-10 minutes or until golden.

Step 6

DRESSING: In large bowl, combine dressing ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 7

SALAD: Tear or chop romaine, add to bowl and toss with dressing. Top with parmesan and pepper.
