Brussel Sprout Caesar Salad with Everything Bagel Croutons
Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 lb brussel sprouts shredded
Croutons:
- 1 loaf sourdough bread day-old, sliced into small cubes (I like to leave the loaf unwrapped in a cabinet overnight so it can dry a bit)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Caesar Dressing:
- 1 cup avocado oil or any mild-tasting oil
- 1 organic egg
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3-4 anchovy filets or 2 tsp anchovy paste
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp vinegar (any type will do)
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss the bread with oil and spices, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Keep a close eye on the croutons towards the end - they can go from perfect to burned very quickly. Once the croutons are baked, sprinkle with a little extra (or a lot extra) Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.
- Meanwhile, blend all ingredients for the Caesar dressing until smooth. Toss the brussel sprouts with 1 cup of Caesar dressing, and serve with croutons over top.
