After all the heavy foods over the holidays, it was nice to sit
down to a salad the other day. I added some steak for the carnivores in
my family, but this could just as easily be eaten with chicken or with
no meat at all. The dressing was really good. It turned out to be not
too thick which was fine by me because that way it oozed down into all
the nooks and crannies of the salad. And the croutons!! Oh my...they
were so very good. I love homemade croutons and have been making them
for years. They were just right....a little crunchy on the outside and a
little soft on the inside so you could actually spear them with a fork.
Unlike the store bought kind that are tasty but a little difficult to
pick up. Overall..this meal was a 10 for me!
