  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy (if using), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Prepare the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Toss the bread cubes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.
  4. Serve immediately.
