Croutons

Preheat oven to 300°. Line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on baking sheet. Spray bread cubes with nonstick cooking spray. Turn bread cubes and spray a second time. Season with garlic powder and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Arrange cubes in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through baking. Be careful not to burn them.

Salad

In a large bowl, combine anchovies, Caesar dressing, olive oil and lemon juice, and mix well. Add lettuce and toss to coat evenly with dressing. Sprinkle with cheese and pepper, and toss to combine. Top with croutons.
