  4. Step 4: Chop the Romaine lettuce, rinse, dry, and place it in a large salad bowl.

  6. Step 6: Top with shaved parmesan and croutons, toss gently, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For vegetarian options, replace chicken with grilled veggies or chickpeas.
  • Croutons can be substituted with crushed nuts for a gluten-free option.
