6. Enjoy!:
- Your Caesar salad with homemade dressing is now ready to enjoy. Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and fresh.

Tips:

- For an extra crunch, add some homemade croutons by toasting bread cubes with a little olive oil and seasoning.

- If you prefer, you can substitute fresh garlic for garlic powder by using one clove of minced garlic.

- To make the dressing creamier, consider adding a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt.

- For a vegetarian version, simply omit the Worcestershire sauce or use a vegetarian alternative.

With this recipe, you can now enjoy a fresh and wholesome Caesar Salad with a homemade dressing that outshines any store-bought version. The combination of flavors from the Parmesan, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce perfectly complements the crunchy lettuce, making for a delightful and nutritious meal.
