Mine usually go on a Caesar salad (home made dressing). I toss them
with garlic infused olive oil (sometimes add a little s&p too) and
bake them in the oven. I'm not eating the croutons straight and want
them to go with as much as possible (Caesar, Italian and vinaigrette),
so I'm not looking for anything highly flavored.
