    I made this for a dinner party. My only problem was the polenta croutons: when first making, I knew that a half sheet pan was way too big for how much polenta I had. So I used a 9" X 13" glass backing pan to set the polenta. When I was deep frying the polenta croutons they just disintegrated in the hot oil. So I stopped, and baked them in a 425 oven for about 20 minutes until they browned. They came out wonderful. I did not grill the romaine and did not use the sun dried tomatoes. The dressing is just wonderful and my guests said it was the best caeser salad they ever had! Would make again now that I know how to do it my way.

    Great caesar salad with a little different twist. The polenta croutons are a must but they are time consuming. I found that the oil had to be really hot to get the croutons nicely browned. Also, I made the croutons ahead and put them (cooled in a zip lock and the got soft. Putting them in the oven to rewarm got them crisp again. Great dressing - eveything.

    I've never made the polenta croutons, but this is the second time I've made the Caesar dressing. It's incredible. Perfect balance of flavors. I crumbled some gorgonzola on my salad, and it went really well with this dressing.

    I have only made the croutons, after having them at my friend Jamie's house. I could eat a bowlful of them. They are so good, it doesn't matter what the salad tastes like (almost.

    Excellent idea for a salad blend. Everyone in my family loves when I make this salad. Really great to bring in the polenta -

    What this recipe did for me was to get creative with a Caesar Salad. I don't care for anchovies so I ground up some pepporoni and used that instead. My first try I didn't have a grill so I put the lettuce in a pan on the stovetop and grilled it saute style. Loved it!!! Will try again with some other variations.

    My husband went crazy for this. It was excellent. The polenta makes it a little more time consuming but it was definitely worthwhile.

    I tried this for the first time last night, and it was delicious! Who would have imagined that grilled romaine would have such a nice texture? The polenta croutons were a nice option.

    Added a great punch as a pre-dinner salad. Would even be great with chicken or shrimp.
