SALAD CROUTONS
I came up with these croutons because all I could ever find in the store were ones that tasted stale and threatened to break a tooth. We love the blend of the slightly sweet of the bread with the garlic. We've been known to just grab a handful for munching ! They're also great tossed on top of a cup of soup!
