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 

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper. 
  2. 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 

  1. In a sealable jar, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, anchovy paste, honey, Dijon, pepper, and salt. Close the jar and shake well until combined.

Salad 

  1. Combine spring mix, desired amount of dressing (adding a splash at a time), and freshly grated parmesan.

Serve 

  1. 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.
