Remember my cheerful tablecloth? Tonight I made a cheery salad to go with it. I made Pam's Simple Scrumptious Caesar Salad from Pioneer Woman's cooking website. As I was slurping up the last piece of romaine on my plate I declared it to be one of the best salads I've ever made. It's all in the dressing and the croutons. And who would've thought to make the homemade croutons that way? You first blend up 4 cloves of garlic with 1/4 cup olive oil in the blender. Then you sieve the garlic out and toss your cut up french bread pieces in the garlic/oil mixture. Then you throw it in your hot skillet. I used my cast iron one and they crisped and browned up very nicely. Then the dressing for the salad is made by throwing that garlic you saved from the oil mixture in with some mayo and fresh lemon. Oh. My. Gosh. delicious. It's very garlicky. So if you don't like garlic don't even go there. But, the lemon is bright and strong and paired with the garlic it is a sensory experience for your taste buds.
