Directions
Dressing
In small mixing bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until thoroughly blended. Cover or pour into a container with lid and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Salad
Tear romaine leaves into bite-size pieces and rinse under cold running water , then dry using a salad spinner or by gently pressing between cloth or paper towels. Transfer leaves into a large mixing bowl and add croutons and Parmesan cheese. Lightly toss to combine. Add as much salad dressing as you prefer and toss until evenly coated. Place on serving dishes and top with more freshly Parmesan cheese and freshly grated black pepper (coarse is best) (again, using as much as you prefer).
