Instructions: Cut baguette crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Combine butter, soy sauce and garlic; beat until well blended. Spread both sides of baguette slices generously with mixture. Place on large baking sheet.

Bake in 400 degree oven 4 minutes. Turn slices over and bake 4 minutes longer, or until golden brown and toasted. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.

Select medium-size middle leaves of romaine. (Store outer and inner leaves for another use.) Wash and drain well. Place desired number of leaves on each of 4 plates. Arrange cucumber, tomato slices and croutons over leaves. Drizzle dressing over salad; serve with remaining dressing and croutons.

Tomato Caesar Dressing: Combine all ingredients with wire whisk until smooth.
