¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Add the garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, fish sauce, mustard, and pepper to a small bowl, large measuring cup, blender, or mini food processor. Whisk vigorously, blend, or process until uniform. Add the mayonnaise and blend again. Very slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to blend, until all the oil is incorporated. Stir in the Parmesan. Refrigerate in a tightly sealed jar or bottle until ready to use, up to one week. Shake or stir before using.

Tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and dry it well using a salad spinner. Transfer the dried lettuce into a large salad bowl.
Add the croutons and Parmesan to the bowl with the lettuce, as well as about ⅓ of the above Caesar salad dressing (about ½ cup). Toss the salad so that all the leaves are coated with dressing. Serve immediately.
