Notes
Pre-trip prepYou can prep most of the vinaigrette at home. Combine the dijon mustard, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and pepper in a resealable container. Leave some extra space in the container to add in some tomato juice once you’re at the campsite.Cube the bread at home and store in a bag or container. This will give the bread some time to air out. You want the bread to be slightly stale (but not rock hard) anyway!
