Croutons are so easy to make - if you have a crusty or even soft loaf of bread you can make an addicting salad topper. When it comes to "homemade" food, nothing is better than warm, well-seasoned crispy toasts. Combined with tomatoes, greens, Italian herbs and lovingly coated with a nice lemon vinaigrette, this makes an excellent snack.
(Hummus Croutons Ingredients)
- 4 Slices of Whole Wheat or GF Bread
- 5 tbl Olive Hummus
- Minced Garlic Cloves
- Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning and Salt
- Olive Oil (optional)
(Lemon Vinaigrette Ingredients)
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- Juice from 1/2 Lemon
- 1/2 tsp Dijon or Stone-Ground Mustard
- Minced Garlic and Basil
- A pinch of Salt and Pepper
(Directions)
- Cut your bread into thick pieces.
- Coat with the above ingredients and bake at 400 degrees until crispy.
- Meanwhile whisk your vinaigrette ingredients together, making sure that everything has time to meld and that the olive oil is the first thing in the bowl.
- Allow the flavors to meld for about an hour, then combine with your favorite salad greens, croutons and enjoy.
Hummus croutons sound like a really yummy addition to a salad.
