- 2 tbsps Chopped chives
- 2 tbsps Toasted pine nuts
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the croutons. Place the bread cubes on the baking sheet, toss with olive oil and salt, and bake 10 minutes, until toasted.

Notes
- Salad dressings can last for one week if stored in an airtight container or jar.Â
- If you anticipate having extra dressing, it’s best to leave it on the side for individuals to add to their own servings. Caesar salad, once dressed, tends to become soggy and limp when stored in the fridge.
- Lettuce will stay fresh for 8-10 days when stored in an airtight container.
- Store croutons in an airtight container once they have fully cooled down to room temperature. Croutons will remain fresh for 3-4 days when stored properly at room temperature.
