Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt (optional) and pepper (optional) to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour in order to thicken slightly.
-
Meanwhile, place the bread pieces on a baking sheet and bake 8 minutes or until slightly firm. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
-
Place mixed greens in a salad bowl, add dressing and cheese, and toss gently, yet thoroughly to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper, if desired. Add croutons, toss gently and serve immediately.
