Garlic croutons are an essential part of the classic Caesar salad, beloved by gourmets worldwide. The history of this dish began in 1924 when restaurateur Caesar Cardini created the famous salad in Tijuana using available ingredients. Crispy croutons made from French baguette, infused with the aroma of fresh garlic, add textural depth and rich flavor. Their golden crust and intense spicy aroma perfectly complement the tender greens and creamy dressing. Such croutons are often used not only in Caesar but also as a savory snack for soups and other dishes. They instantly transform an ordinary dish into a gastronomic delight, giving it a rich taste and appetizing crunch.
