Half a stale baguette wasn’t trash; it was bread pudding or croutons or something I could blitz into breadcrumbs.

“They have meat and like 10 dressings and lil jalapenos and croutons and bacon bits and all that.”

In this specific salad context, where every element counts, the substitution of breadcrumbs for croutons represents a particularly vexing situation.

A Caesar, on the contrary, seemed less flavorful than most, lacking creaminess in the dressing and with the sad substitution of breadcrumbs for croutons.

I started with the distant memory of a Martha Stewart recipe for sweet croutons, shredding a croissant from my neighborhood bakery and toasting it in a skillet with butter and sugar.
