		Crusty Croutons
1/2		Bread
1/3 cup	78ml	Olive oil

1/4 cup	59ml	Extra-virgin olive oil - more or less
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

For the croutons, slice bread into 1-inch thick slices. Stack several slices and cut slices into 1-inch bars, then cut bars crosswise into 1-inch cubes. Repeat with remaining slices.

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add bread cubes and stir around well. Let cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and add to salad while tossing.

Wash salad greens by immersing in a sink full of cold water and swirling around. Lift greens out of sink into salad spinner or clean cotton pillowcase and spin like crazy. Fun for the whole family. Toss salad greens and croutons gently with olive oil in a large wooden bowl. Sprinkle on lemon juice and toss again. Finally, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, toss again, and serve. Eat with your fingers.
