Ingredients

For the Croutons:

1/2 French Baguette, cut in half and thinly sliced (1/4" thick)

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 Tsp minced garlic, 2 small cloves

2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

‍

For the Caesar Salad:

1 large romaine lettuce, (or 2 small heads romaine)

1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved

Salt and Pepper to taste

FilFil Caesar Sauce

‍

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise through the top of the baguette then slice diagonally into 1/4" thick pieces. Place the breads onto a baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 tsp of finely minced garlic. Drizzle the garlic oil over the croutons and sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese.

Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over the baking sheet and bake at 350˚F until light golden and crisp (10-12 minutes), or to desired crispness.

Rinse, dry and chop or tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with shredded parmesan cheese and cooled croutons.

Drizzle with FilFIl Caesar dressing and toss gently until lettuce is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
