Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing and Croutons

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Line baking sheet with foil.
2. Put 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium bowl. Add squares of bread and toss to coat with oil. Put bread on baking sheet and broil 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip bread over and broil another 1 to 2 minutes until golden on both sides. Croutons can be made several hours ahead of time.
3. Make salad. Place garlic clove in bottom of a large salad bowl and sprinkle with salt. Use the back of a kitchen spoon to crush garlic and salt into a paste. Add pepper. Add anchovies, if using, and mash them into garlic with spoon. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice, and mix. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and mix well. (Dressing can be made, covered, and refrigerated several hours before serving.)
4. Place lettuce on top of dressing in bowl. Scatter cheese over lettuce and top with croutons. Toss, making sure leaves are coated with dressing. Serve immediately.
