Author Notes: I call this an "almost" Caesar Salad since it eliminates anchovies and raw egg. The croutons, infused with garlic, more than make up for the missing ingredients in flavor. This recipe is also "almost" vegetarian. Worcestershire sauce has a small amount of fermented fish in it.
Ingredients: 6 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Garlic Croutons:
4 slices French bread cut into 1 inch cubes
3 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Dressing:
1 teaspoon Worcesteshire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves finely minced or pressed
Instructions: Prepare croutons by sautéeing garlic in olive oil on medium heat for about three minutes (Don't cook on too high a heat or allow garlic to brown as it will turn bitter). Remove garlic from oil and add bread cubes and basil to pan. Toss to coat. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and place in oven set on the lowest temperature setting. Leave bread crumbs in oven until dry (about 10-15 minutes).

Prepare dressing by whisking all dressing ingredients together.

Toss lettuce, cheese, croutons and dressing together and serve.
