4 HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSINGS AND CROUTONS ALL GLUTEN-DAIRY FREE

Welcome to my kitchen! Having dietary restrictions shouldn’t mean missing out. I have been gluten free for 15 years and dairy free for 7 years. I also avoid corn and yeast. We have four beautiful daughters who have each delt with a wide variety of food sensitivities over the years. In addition to no gluten and no dairy we have also avoided eggs, soy, cashews, sugar, carbs and meat. The main lesson I have learned is adaptability. I love cooking and preparing good food for my family and friends. Cooking is chemistry, my goal is to remove the mystery from chemistry! I invite you along to share my food journey to find tasty, safe food that makes you say “No gluten? No whey!”
Salad Dressings
Caesar Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp mustard

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. I use a smoothie cup on my VitaMix and blend to the count of 20.
Croutons

1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder

Place bread and seasonings in a Ziplock bag and shake to coat. Combine melted butter and oil and pour over bread and seasoning mixture, shake to coat. Pour onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread bread cubes out so that they are not touching. Bake in 350 degree oven approximately 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown.
