1. Place desired quantity of croutons in a zipper-closure plastic bag. Using your fists or a heavy kitchen object, crush croutons into a coarse meal resembling panko breadcrumbs; set aside.
2. Trim tops and base of lettuce; discard. Cut or tear lettuce into very small to bite-sized pieces.
3. Immerse lettuce in ice-cold water; swirl to wash.
4. Drain lettuce; spin thoroughly dry in a salad spinner.
5. In a large mixing bowl, toss lettuce with dressing to taste.
6. Divide dressed greens between 2 serving dishes; top evenly with crushed croutons, cheese and a generous amount of pepper.

Tasty Tip:

• Don't have a salad spinner? Wrap drained lettuce in a clean, dry kitchen towel and gather ends of the towel in your fist. Holding the bundle tightly, quickly swing the damp greens in a circle. The towel will absorb excess water. Repeat with a second dry towel if greens are very wet.
