Salads are great, but sometimes you need a bit of substance. Enter: Welsh rarebit croutons, a delicious cheese-on-toast combo just waiting to adorn your bed of greens. Salad will never be boring again!
Photo by Caroline WrightThis salad, with the addition of beets and some wintery greens, features Welsh rarebit — a type of British grilled cheese, like the French croque monsieur, that is perfect for a brisk night. I made the little rarebit toasts into the sort of croutes I made while living in Paris, crispy and hugged with warm cheese. Thinly sliced raw beets add snap and an earthy sweetness to this fantasy bistro plate.
