Easy Homemade Croutons

Recipe for Croutons.

We have been enjoying lots of salad now that the weather is warming up. I don’t know what it is about the warm weather that makes me want to eat salad all the time. I crave it like crazy!

Along with our homemade balsamic dressing (which I will be posting the recipe for in the next few weeks), we often top off our salads with homemade croutons. Not only are they much cheaper than the store-bought variety, but I find that they taste much better as well.
