½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup Caesar salad dressing
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

In the bowl with the lettuce, add the croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad and toss everything together gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
Finish with freshly ground black pepper and, if desired, top with anchovy fillets for an authentic flavor.
