Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350¡F. For the dressing, place the Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl; whisk until smooth. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.

For the croutons, toss the bread cubes with the oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until croutons are crisp and golden.

For the salad, in a large bowl, toss the lettuce, croutons, and tomato. Add just enough dressing to coat the lettuce (save remaining dressing for another use) and toss again. Sprinkle with the feta.
