Mom's Mock Caesar

My mother has made this salad since I was young. It is a tasty alternative to creamy caesar dressings. It is also a convenient recipe, most ingredients are staple items.

Don't trade out for store bought, the best part of this recipe is the homemade croutons!

Croutons
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1-1/2 cup cubed day old bread

Combine all ingredients, brown till at desired crispness

Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 raw egg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Tear preferred greens into bite size pieces, toss with dressing. Add croutons lightly toss till mixed.

Tini Tip- I have tried this recipe substituting part of the olive oil in the dressing for Truffle olive oil. I tried 1/8 cup truffle oil and it was just enough to notice, add higher percentage if you prefer.
