Caesar Croutons are the crowning jewel on a classic Caesar Salad and once you make this homemade version, you’ll find yourself wondering why you ever bought croutons from the store. There is no comparison and they’ll quickly take your Caesar Salad game to the next level.

Homemade croutons for life! When I first posted the recipe for the besthomemade croutons, I had no idea how popular it would become. I absolutely love reading your comments about how making homemade croutons for the first time was a game-changer for you. Here are some of my favorite comments:

Since you all love these so much (for good reason!), I’ve gone a little crouton crazy. I compiled a complete guide on how to make croutons, complete with all sorts of variations and ideas for you. There are even a couple of different cooking methods and a video to help you visualize the process! I also developed a copycat recipe for Ruby Tuesday croutons, because I haven’t been to Ruby Tuesday’s in years and years but I still remember those delicious little cubes of bread.

Classic Caesar Salad Made From Scratch

Since we’re riding the crouton train, I thought Caesar croutons also deserved their own feature here. A Caesar salad is not a Caesar salad without the croutons, am I right? So you can either eat those crumbly dry croutons you buy at the store or you can bite into a perfectly crispy chewy crouton that will elevate your salad to a whole new level. There is truly nothing like it for sale at the store, but the good news is that these croutons are super simple to make and they’ll finish baking basically in the time it takes to make the actual salad.

Like all the other croutons, Caesar croutons are also a great way to use up leftover or stale bread if that exists in your house. These garlic Parmesan croutons are flaked with herbs and have so much flavor for the perfect Caesar salad. I opt for garlic powder for a more mild flavor but if you’re a huge garlic fan, feel free to mince a couple of cloves and go garlic crazy!

Tip: The more stale and dry your bread cubes are, the faster these will brown! If your bread is dry, make sure to keep a close eye on it to keep it from burning. If your bread is quite fresh, plan on slightly increasing baking time.

Verdict: When I tested this recipe, I actually only ate two of these because I was technically doing a Whole30. It was SO hard not to eat more – homemade croutons are one of my favorite things and these were some of the best I’ve had!

Husband’s take:Luckily Ben came to the rescue and took a bag of these to work with him. I think he snacked on them without putting them on a salad – they’re that good!This is, in my opinion, the very best Caesar salad recipe. The homemade dressing and croutons are the stars of the show with the lettuce really just being the vehicle to carry all that flavor. A generous shower of Parmesan right before serving is advised because let’s face it, who doesn’t love a mountain of Parm on their salad?

Caesar Salad With Crispy Tofu Croutons Recipe

Making your own dressing is so simple (as can be seen in the video) and requires just a bowl and a whisk. You could use mayonnaise and add chopped anchovies, garlic, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese if you want to make an even quicker cheat’s version. The dressing can also be made in a blender or food processor.

Start by making the croutons. Slice the bread into bite-size pieces then toss with olive oil, crushed garlic, dried garlic and a pinch of salt. Toss well then transfer to a baking sheet and bake in a hot oven until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Make the dressing in a medium bowl. Whisk together the egg yolk, finely chopped anchovies, minced garlic, a teaspoon Dijon mustard and freshly squeezed lemon juice together. Slowly drizzle in the oil whilst whisking continuously until the mixture is emulsified, thick and a pale yellow, exactly how you would for homemade mayo. Add the Parmesan cheese then season to taste with salt and pepper.

To make the salad, spoon the dressing into the bottom of a large serving bowl. Add the lettuce leaves and toss well. Add the croutons and Parmesan shavings then serve.

I love eating a Caesar on its own for lunch and it makes a fantastic side dish. For extra protein, add a grilled chicken breast to make a classic chicken caesar salad.

The dressing can be made up to week in advance and kept in a jar in the fridge. The croutons will last for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container at room temperature. Once the salad is dressed, it’s best to serve it straight away.

Rather, we’ve found the perfect (easy, and salmonella-free) recipe for a Caesar dressing from scratch. It’s as creamy or creamier than anything you can find in a jar, and bonus! You know exactly what did (or didn’t) go into it.

Didn’t use up all that nice fresh crusty bread you bought for dinner last week? It’s too dry to eat by itself, but it is perfect for homemade croutons. Just like black bananas are the perfect candidates for banana bread, day (or week) old bread is just crying out for a more fulfilling future than the garbage. Give it that satisfaction by turning it into crispy, golden brown, homemade croutons.

Yet, even with the extra steps to make it all from scratch, it is still a surprisingly quick and easy dinner. A weeknight meal. Something satisfying for the whole family (especially if your family includes 3 cats. Yes, those anchovies and chicken strips are quite tempting. Bad kitties!)

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, mustard, and anchovies. Slowly whisk in the oil to emulsify. Stir in the cheese and season with sat and pepper. Refrigerate in a covered container. When ready to use, whisk again. Dressing will keep up to 10 weeks, refrigerated, in a covered container.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, drizzle olive oil over bread and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray and bake until golden, turning to brown all sides. Actual baking time will vary depending on the variety and dryness of your bread, watch them carefully to ensure they do not burn.

Place chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound breasts to a uniform thickness (about 3/8″). Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add chicken breast to pan. Cook until both sides are lightly golden and chicken is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and slice into thin strips.

To assemble, trim the lettuce and toss with some of the vinaigrette. Arrange on salad plates, top with chicken and croutons, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
