Caesar Salad with Sourdough Cracker

This is a great Caesar salad combination! The cracker adds a wonderful texture and is a welcome change from traditional croutons. The leftover cracker is an excellent savory and crunchy component to any dish. This cracker can be made with any kind of bread, but it is really good when made with sourdough or French loaf. You can also use the crusts to make homemade bread crumbs. The unbaked cracker base can be frozen and baked off fresh for another time.
