Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mash 1 garlic clove with the salt to form a smooth paste. Add the bread cubes, and toss to combine. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes, turning once.

    Step 2

    Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, mince the remaining garlic clove with the anchovy, if using, to form a smooth paste. Whisk in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil.

    Step 3

    In a large serving bowl, toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette and reserved croutons. Serve immediately, garnished with shaved Parmesan.
