Ready in: 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 2-4 cloves garlic, chopped
  
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
  
• 2 cinnamon raisin bagels (fresh or stale)
  
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Preparation method

Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 5 mins

1. Croutons: Lightly saute the garlic in the olive oil.

2. Slice and lightly toast the bagels. Brush the bagels with a healthy amount of the garlic infused olive oil (it’s ok to get some garlic chunks on the bagels).

3. Place the bagels on a tray and toast the oil brushed side. Cut into large bite sized pieces.

4. Salad: Add the remaining garlic infused olive oil to the cut Romaine lettuce. Add the vinegar; toss the salad. Add the dry Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Add the bagel pieces. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
