Arugula Caesar Salad with Crouton

  

 Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup breadcrumbs OR bread cut into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp EACH: Italian seasoning and garlic powder
• 1 pinch salt and pepper
• 4 ounces baby arugula
• ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese

 The Dressing

• ¼ cup plain, Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2-3 tsp lemon juice as per your taste
• 1 ½ teaspoons anchovy paste
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small clove garlic
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 pinch salt

 

Instructions 

• Mix the dressing ingredients together, then place the bowl in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  
  
• Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and mix well. Continue to mix until the breadcrumbs is golden brown and crispy and then remove the pan from the heat.
  
  
• Add the arugula to a salad bowl and pour enough of the dressing over top to lightly coat the greens – about half. Add half of the crouton crispies and the shaved Parmesan and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the rest of the crouton crispies over top and serve right away.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: The dressing can be made ahead and kept in your fridge for up to a week. The crouton crispies stay crisp for many days if kept in a sealed container on your counter.  Dressing amount: The amount of dressing is more than you need for one salad, but I can’t bear to go through the effort of making only enough dressing for one salad, especially when it keeps so well. You can save the rest for a salad tomorrow, drizzle the extra over your main dish, or cut the dressing recipe in half if you only want one salad.
