Ingredients
Croissant Croutons
4 stale croissants, torn into pieces
Caesar Dressing
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon anchovy paste or minced anchovy filets
1 tablespoon liquid honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Salad
12 cups spring mix
Fresh parmesan
Directions
Croissant Croutons
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
Arrange croissant pieces into single layers and bake until crisp, about seven to 10 minutes. Keep a close eye as they will burn easily. Let cool completely.
Caesar Dressing
In a sealable jar, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, anchovy paste, honey, Dijon, pepper, and salt. Close the jar and shake well until combined.
Salad
Combine spring mix, desired amount of dressing (adding a splash at a time), and freshly grated parmesan.
Serve
Top with croissant croutons and serve. Enjoy!
TIP: Don’t stir in croutons as they are very delicate and will fall apart. Store any leftover dressing for another use for up to 2 weeks.
