By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups croutons (See Notes)
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (2-ounce) can anchovies in oil, drained

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine romaine and croutons; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, the garlic, salt, and pepper; whisk until smooth and creamy.

Add dressing to lettuce and croutons; toss to coat well.

Top with anchovies and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes:
This can be turned into a chicken Caesar salad meal by arranging the salad on plates and topping with strips of grilled boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.
