Green Bean Caesar Salad With Zesty Torn Croutons Recipe By Tasty Recipes

GREEN BEAN CAESAR SALAD WITH ZESTY TORN CROUTONS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Tear the baguette into ½-inch pieces. You should have about 2 cups.
• Add the bread pieces to a large bowl and toss with the lemon zest, garlic powder, and salt. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat.
• Spread the croutons in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and toast, stirring halfway through, for 15-20 minutes, or until dried and starting to turn golden brown.
• While the croutons toast, prepare the green beans: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and add the salt. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Add the Simple Truth™ Organic Green Beans to the boiling water and cook for 4-6 minutes, until slightly tender, but still crisp. Drain the beans, then immediately transfer to the ice bath and let sit for 2 minutes, until cool. Transfer the green beans to a paper towel and pat dry.
• Stack the green beans on a serving platter and drizzle with the Simple Truth™ Plant-Based Caesar Dressing. Sprinkle with the Simple Truth™ Organic Raw Pumpkin Seeds, the pepper, and reserved ½ teaspoon lemon zest. Top with the croutons and shaved Simple Truth™ Organic Aged Parmesan Cheese.
• Enjoy!
