Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs with minced garlic and olive oil. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together your dairy-free Caesar dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water. Dry gently, chop into bite-sized pieces, and place in a large glass bowl.
  4. Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the bowl and drizzle in the homemade dairy-free Caesar dressing. Toss gently until well-coated. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
  5. Sprinkle the crispy garlic breadcrumbs over the salad and serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
