Ingredients:
Caesar salad
- 3 cups rough chopped romaine lettuce
- 3/4 to 1 cup croutons (recipe below)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Creamy Caesar Dressing
Spelt Sourdough Croutons
- 12 ounces spelt sourdough (about 6 and 1/2 to 7 cups), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Prepare the Spelt Sourdough Croutons:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one extra-large metal baking sheet or two standard baking sheets with parchment paper.
Spread cubed croutons in a single layer on prepared baking sheet(s), being sure not to crowd them. Toss bread cubes with oil and spices to coat.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven; allow to cool at room temperature. Yields five to six servings.
Note: These keep wonderfully in the freezer in a freezer-safe bag for four to six months! Defrost at room temp before adding to salad.
To Serve:
Place lettuce into a bowl; top with croutons. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast. Top with dressing. Toss well to coat.
