Ceasar Salad

Homemade croutons really make this good.

2 heads romaine lettuce - chopped

Croutons
Cube 1 loaf of day old bread - whatever you have - Itallian, French, Sourdough, Hot Dog Buns
Spread on a baking sheet and spray with canola oil spray. You could also use olive oil or melted butter if you prefer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Bake at 325 degrees, turning every 10 to 15 minutes until they are crispy, about 45 minutes. Cool and store in a zippered bag. Will stay fresh up to a week.

Ceasar Dressing
Juice from 2 lemons
1-2 t sugar
2-3 cloves garlic, minced or put through a garlic press
1 T dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 to 3/4 cup canola or olive oil
Whisk all ingredients or shake in a jar.

Toss lettuce with croutons and dressing to taste. Extra shredded parmesan is good on it too.
