Make the croutons:
Preheat the oven to 300°F
Whisk 2 T olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl
Toss the bread cubes in the olive oil mixture
Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes
Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, which lets them crisp up fully
(Croutons can be made in advance - allow to cool completely to room temperature, then store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks)
Make the dressing:
Mix the dressing ingredients in a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup (Greek yogurt through 1/4 cup Parmesan)
(Dressing can be stored refrigerated for up to one week)
Make the salad:
Chop the romaine leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Top each salad with Parmesan cheese shavings, croutons, and dressing.
