Anytime I make caesar salad, I like to make my own croutons:
bread- any kind will do, but my favorite is the Acme WW Sourdough
1 cube butter
4-5 cloves of garlic, mutilated
dried herbs, including parsley, oregano, thyme, basil (optional)
Cut the bread into cubes or chunks, approximately 3/4" square. Much bigger than
that and they tend to be a bit difficult to eat. Melt the butter and garlic
together, either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Toss the cubes with the butter/garlic mixture. The idea is not to saturate them, but to coat them. Sprinkle with herbs of choice. Bake in a 350F oven for about 15-20 minutes until brown and toasty. Can be stored in an airtight container for a few weeks.
