Garlic Onion Croutons

I crave salad. Most people crave chocolate and sweets but I just want salad. Romaine lettuce or Spinach is a staple on our grocery list. I love experimenting with making my own dressing, since most store bought contain dairy. Over the years I have also enjoyed making croutons. It is so easy and a great way to use the last of a loaf of bread or leftover buns.

In our house Kevin wants brats, hotdogs, hamburgers, etc with a bun. I don't want the bun so we we always end up with leftover buns that just go bad in the fridge or get freezer burnt. I can't stand to throw them away, not that bread is super expensive but I hate to waste food of any kind.

Today I am making Garlic Onion Croutons. So easy... check it out!

4 leftover (half stale!) onion hamburger buns (but you can use whatever you have on hand)

1/2 cup EVOO

2 TBS chopped dried garlic (or as much as you like)

pinch of course salt

Slice bread and put in a ziplock or plastic container, pour EVOO, garlic, and salt over bread and shake. Dump onto baking pan and bake at 250 for about 30 minutes or until they are crisp like croutons. Store in airtight container or bag.

Also on the "kitchen to do list" today is Garlic Hummus and Apricot Salad Dressing. You can find both of these on the blog!

Now time to go enjoy an awesome salad!
