Homemade Croutons

I don't each sandwiches a lot but when I see a fresh loaf of sour dough bread I can't resist. I realized that my loaf was going to start getting stale and I had a 1/2 loaf left! So...I decided to try out making some homemade croutons!

Ingredients
4 slices of sour dough bread chopped
2 Tbs EVOO
2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Kosher Salt

Directions
Chop the bread
Place bread in a baking pan and pour EVOO and balsamic over bread
Sprinkle salt over bread
Use your hands to coat and mix bread (some are going to have more EVOO and some more balsamic--never fear, I found it's actually delicious...you have a mix of sweet and salty croutons!)

What did I use them with?

I made a summer salad last night and topped it with some croutons. I forgot to take a picture when it was all put together but here is a somewhat lame picture of the saran wrap on top before I took it to a friends for dinner!
-fresh greens, 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 chopped walnuts, 1 cup croutons


Tonight I made a caesar salad and decided the AMAZING (if I do say so myself) croutons could be enough instead of topping it with some chicken.
