Notes

For the best texture, keep dressing separate until just before serving so the croutons stay crisp. Store assembled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days, but note the romaine softens after dressing. Freezing is not recommended. For a lighter swap, use light mayonnaise for the dressing while keeping the same Parmesan and lemon balance.
