There is nothing like a good Caesar salad. It's a classic, a crowd pleaser, and an easy way to pull a meal together. We think the secret is in the sauce...and the homemade croutons of course. The combination of these two recipes make for a killer Caesar salad. You are definitely going to want to bookmark these recipes, once you try them you will definitely be hooked! 

Quick Caesar Salad Dressing & Fresh Croutons

Ingredients:

Caesar Dressing

• 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice 
• 1/4 Mayo
• 1/4 Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese
•  2 Cloves of Garlic, Crushed
• 2 Tsp of Dijon Mustard
• 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• Freshly Ground Pepper 

Croutons

• 1 Loaf of Ciabatta Bread (cut into even cubes)
• 1 Clove of Garlic
• 1/4 Cup Butter
• 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil 
• 1/4 Cup Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese
• ½ tablespoon of finely chopped oregano
• ½ tablespoon of finely chopped flat leaf parsley
• Freshly cracked black pepper
• Salt

Instructions:

• Pre-heat oven to 350F
• For the dressing, combine and whisk all together in a bowl, or shake in a jar. 
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large frying pan. Cut most of the crust off the bread and cut it into very small squares.
• Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot – add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
• Add the bread cubes and toss them well in the garlic butter.
• Toss in Parmesan cheese, chopped oregano, black pepper and salt. Toss the croutons so that the herbs and cheese are well distributed.
• Transfer your seasoned croutons to a sheet pan and spread them out evenly.
• Bake for about 15 minutes stirring them occasionally until they are nice and toasty...keep an eye, these little gems go from toasty to toast in no time flat!
• Cool the croutons and store them in a freezer bag or freeze the leftovers.
• Toss dressing and croutons with fresh, romaine lettuce and enjoy!
