How to Make Croutons:
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise through the top of the baguette then slice diagonally into 1/4" thick pieces. Place the breads onto a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 tsp of finely minced garlic. Drizzle the garlic oil over the croutons and sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese.
Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over the baking sheet and bake at 350˚F until light golden and crisp (10-12 minutes), or to desired crispness.
How to Make Caesar Salad Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, dijon, Worcestershire, lemon juice and red wine vinegar.
Slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly.
Whisk in 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, or season to taste.
