DIRECTIONS
For croutons: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut baguette into 1/2-inch cubes and toss with oil and San Andreas. Arrange cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 20 min. until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside. For dressing: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For salad: Combine ingredients together in a large bowl, toss with 1/4 to 1/2 cup dressing and stir in 1 cup croutons.
