Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Caesar Salad
  1. In a food processor, combine Greek yogurt, anchovies, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Then add Parmesan cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and milk. Blend again and refrigerate the dressing.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss stale baguette chunks with melted butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 12-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. In a large bowl, add chopped romaine and sliced cucumbers. Toss to combine. Drizzle with dressing and toss until coated.
  4. Fold in sliced avocado carefully. Top with remaining croutons and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
