Sounds good but I’d give the anchovies a miss.

  Why not give it a try, if you’ve had a Caesar Salad out it’s nearly a certainty it had anchovies in the dressing.

Fiddly but worth the effort, maybe might make the crouton while doing another meal in the oven.

  That’s a great idea 🙂 Just make ahead and store in an airtight container. Just make sure they cool properly before sealing the container.
