Caesar Dressing*
- In a medium sized bowl, smash your garlic or add in your minced garlic.

Seasoned Croutons
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 C)
- Cut half a baguette into cubes and toss onto sheet pan.
- Drizzle 3 Tablespoons olive oil and top with a few pinches of kosher salt, black pepper and some freshly grated parmesan. You can do all this to taste.
- Bake into preheated oven for 8-12 minutes in upper 1/3 of oven until golden brown. Toss on sheet pan at the halfway point.
Assemble Salad

- Plate salad greens then top with croutons, avocado if using and cooked salmon.
- Drizzle additional dressing to taste.
- Repeat for additional plates.
