1

Add olive oil, vinegar, water, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to bowl or tall plastic cup.

Just before serving, whisk vigorously for about a minute until well combined. Pour over salad BEFORE adding the croutons.

Croutons
I made these in an air fryer. You can try them in an oven or toaster oven.
3

Preheat air fryer or oven to 400 degrees.

4

Take day old bread and stack. Cut into crouton size squares. Should be about 12-16 per slice of bread.

5

Add to a metal bowl and spray 3 times with cooking spray.

6

Add a heavy pinch of Italian seasoning and a shake of salt and pepper.

7

Shake bowl to cover the cubes with seasoning and put in the air fryer. If using an over, put on a sheet pan lined with tin foil.

8

Cook for 5 minutes. Stir and give them another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. It may take longer in an over, so keep checking.

9

Remove and set aside. Try one and season if needed.

Shrimp

Mix shrimp, a heavy pinch of Italian seasoning and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and let sit for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
