Tips:
- To make the perfect croutons, use day-old bread and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Toss the cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of lettuces, such as romaine hearts, arugula, and spinach. You can also add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots.
- If you don't have sourdough bread, you can use any type of bread that you like. However, sourdough bread has a slightly sour flavor that pairs well with the dressing.
- To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can also add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately, while the croutons are still crispy. You can also store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
