Yield: 6 cups INGREDIENTS Croutons 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, smashed ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces crusty bread (such as Italian or French), cut into ½-inch cubes (4½ cups cubed) Salad 1 pound Brussels sprouts, loose leaves removed and stems trimmed (if desired, reserve some of the outer leaves to pan fry to serve on top of the salad - this adds some extra texture and color to the salad) 2 ounces Parmesan 1 cup Caesar Dressing (page 14) INSTRUCTIONS 1. Heat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the middle position. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Prepare the croutons. Combine the oil, garlic, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.

If preparing the pan-fried leaves, put 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over mediumhigh heat. Once the oil is hot, add the leaves with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pan-fry until the edges of the leaves are browned and crispy, but the centers are bright green. 6. Add the croutons to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts and Parmesan. Drizzle about ½ cup of the dressing over top and then gently toss together. Top with the pan-fried leaves, if using, and serve immediately with additional dressing on the side.
