A little dressing history...

  Taken from Food Network, Tips For Making Your Own Salad Dressing by Catherine Jheon;
  
  Salad dressings can be traced back to the ancient times. The Babylonians used oil and vinegar to dress their greens as far back as 2,000 years ago. At the turn of the century, Americans started developing store-bought dressing by adding spices and ingredients to the basic vinaigrette (oil and vinegar). Many popular brands of dressing, currently on your grocery store shelves, have been on the market since the 1920s. Kraft, for example, made its foray into the salad business with the introduction of its French dressing back in 1925.
  
  *Hmmm..So, if we can prepare our own salad dressings, why not make our own croutons?*
  
  Anyone care to share their creative ideas for croutons?

  Croûton are easy to make I will have to write one up.
  Crostini is basically a croûton only larger.
  Different herbs and spices will change with the salad you are making.
