I just found this salad in Paula Dean's magazine. Sounds springy!
Mixed Green Salad with Parmesan Pepper Dressing and Spiced Croutons
The Salad:
10 cups mixed salad greens
3/4 thinly sliced cucumber
3/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
In a large bowl, combine salad greens, cucumbers and tomatoes. Drizzle with half of dressing, tossing gently to coat. Serve salad with remaining dressing. Top with spiced croutons just before serving.
The Dressing:
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijn mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a medium bowl, whisk together cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, and pepper. Cover and chill.
The Croutons:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (14 oz.) loaf French bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, butter, garlic salt, thyme, basil and pepper.
Place bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with oil mixture, toossing gently to coat. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
