If you like salad, you will love salad with this on top. These crispy red peppers will give your salad a good crunch and additional flavor. I'm not a huge fan of salad (many vegans are not), so I like to add this kind of product to make it taste more like real food.
Welcome to Monk Island, a food blog with a new perspective. This blog documents my experiences as a roaming vegan with limited time, money, and resources. I search the land for simple, plant-based meals for one person, and I share those here with you. This blog is for herbivores on the go who don't live in the kitchen, don't have a kitchen, or don't have a home. No politics or extremist rants. Just peace, respect, and veggies.

Fresh Gourmet Roasted Garlic Focaccia Croutons On A Home-made Salad
This is my first time trying the Fresh Gourmet Roasted Garlic Focaccia Croutons. I put them on a simple home-made salad that consisted of mixed greens, red pepper slices, tomato chunks, alfalfa sprouts, and a vegan dressing.
Some of the crouton pieces are a bit larger than I'd prefer, but that's not a big deal. They had a nice crunch. The taste was fresh with a yeasty garlic aftertaste. I picked up on a hint of rosemary. There's a slightly butter mouthfeel afterward because of the canola and sunflower oil. This really added texture to my salad. These are good!
Fresh Gourmet has other good options for herbivores, but be careful. Many of their products contain milk. Also, the nutritional information label says this product has 30 calories for one serving of 2 table spoons. That's just funny. One piece could be all that will fit on a spoon. I don't want to crush my croutons and use a table spoon to measure my serving size. I just ate half the bag. That made it an easy calculation of 270 calories.
