Cool compelety and store in air tight container.
I buy day old bread and put in freezer then when Im ready to make crutons I take the bread out for about an hour then cube it, makes it a little easier, but make sure they are to room temp and soft before adding the ceasar mix.
Save the crusts and toast in oven and make bread crumbs.
When Im making caesar salad I use this recipe and add 2-3 anchovy fillets. A nice change from creamy dressings.
