Directions
1. In a mason jar, combine all ingredients for the vinaigrette. Give it a good shake and let sit in the refrigerator to allow the dressing infuse with garlic.
2. Put the ingredients for the salad except croutons and jalapeño in a food processor and process quickly using the shred mode. Transfer to a large bowl or shallow plate.
3. Remove garlic from the vinaigrette and pour over the salad. Toss with croutons and jalapeño and serve in individual bowls or plates. Enjoy!
Note: To make croutons: dice slices of fresh or stale bread, toss them in oil, salt and pepper then toast in the oven at 400°F(200°C) for 6-7 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
