- Add the lettuce to a large bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat the lettuce well with the dressing.

Notes
- If you plan on having extras, leave the dressing on the side for everyone to toss with their individual servings. Leftover Caesar salad, dressed, will get quite soggy and limp in the fridge.
- Your dressing will last 1 week stored in an airtight container, bottle, or jar.
- Seal the lettuce well in a large freezer bag or airtight container. It will last 7-10 days in the fridge.
- Make sure the croutons have fully cooled down to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container or sealable bag. They will last 3 days at room temperature.
