Vinaigrette Dressing and Mustard Croutons

Sundays and salads are boring but necessary.  I was going for a soup and salad combo but the soup was really bad.  The croutons made up the slack and savaged the meal.  Thanks, croutons.


Vinaigrette
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons champage vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • salad greens with avocado and cucumber. 
Whisk together first four ingredients in a small bowl.  Slowly add the olive oil while contining to whisk.  Serve on salad.

Next time: egg yolk to thicken it up even more!

Mustard Croutons

  • 6 ounces whole wheat bread, torn
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons stone mustard
  • kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix butter, olive oil, and mustard in a large bowl.  Stir in the torn bread to evenly coat.  Place on baking sheet in a single layer.  Sprinkle with salt and bake 7 minutes, stir, and bake 3-8 more minutes.  Croutons should be browned.
