Method

CAESAR DRESSING Place ingredients and 1 tablespoon water in a screw-top jar; season to taste. Shake well.

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).

Combine ¼ cup oil and the garlic in a bowl; brush both sides of baguette slices with garlic oil. Place in a single layer on an oven tray. Bake 10 minutes or until dry and crisp.
