I think the question doesn't need more explanation,  just if you have to add any seasoning, from pepper to any other kind, specially if you have a variety of them, do you decide an order for them?  
I love croutons in my salad, but I don't want to use refined flour products. I mix sprouted grains with a cashew cream blend, add some miso, kimchi, veggie mix left from my juicer, nutritional yeast flakes and herbs, mix it all together and dehydrate at under 104 degrees for a day, flip it over to dh another day and then crumble it up in a zip lock bag with a food grade desiccant packet.  The chunks make awesome croutons!
