Stand Up Caesar Salad

1 loaf French bread
1 clove garlic, peeled
Olive oil
Salt
Romaine lettuce
Pancetta or bacon, fried until crisp
Freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese
Caesar salad dressing

To make croutons: cut off crust from French bread. Slice lengthwise into 1 cm thick slices. Rub slices on both sides with garlic clove and brush with olive oil. Cut slices into long strips and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake at 300 degrees F for 15 minutes or until croutons are dry and crisp. Cool and place on a serving dish.
Wash lettuce, removing any wilted or tough parts of leaves. Place whole leaves on a platter.
Crumble pancetta or bacon into a small serving bowl.
Place grated cheese in another small serving bowl.
Pour dressing into a squeeze bottle.
To serve the salad, hold one lettuce leaf in your hand. Layer lettuce with a crouton, crumbled pancetta, cheese and dressing. Wrap up sides of the lettuce leaf and eat!
