Caesar Salad Dressing
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
In a small bowl combine all ingredients and whisk together.
Homemade Croutons
Baguette Bread
Extra-virgin olive oil (no substitute)
Slice bread 1/2-inch thick. Generously brush both sides with oil, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and bake on a sheet pan
at 275 degrees F. until lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. These are so flavorful when freshly made.
