All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
Croutons
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the cubes out on a sheet pan. Place this in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the bread cubes over and continue to bake until they are golden and crunchy, approximately 5 more minutes.
Dressing & Salad
Have a bowl of ice-cold water ready. In a small pot over high heat, bring enough water to fully cover the egg to a boil. Using a spider or slotted spoon, gently lower the egg into the boiling water. Turn the heat off and allow the egg to cook for just 1 minute. Using the spider or spoon, transfer the egg to the bowl of cold water so it can cool down.
In a large salad bowl, preferably wood, mix together the garlic and anchovies.
Add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce and mix again. Crack the egg and add the yolk to the bowl. Mix with a fork or whisk to combine again.
Add the lemon juice to the bowl. Using a whisk for mixing, pour the olive oil in a slow stream into the bowl while whisking until the dressing begins to emulsify and is creamy.
Add the torn lettuce to the dressing and toss to coat the leaves. Add the parmesan and croutons and toss gently to incorporate it all.
Using tongs or salad serving utensils, transfer the salad to 4 serving plates and enjoy.
