Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuces

    Wash the GA local lettuces thoroughly under cold water. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the Persian Cucumbers

    Wash the Persian cucumber and slice it thinly. Add it to the bowl with the lettuces.

  3. 3

    Crumble the Ricotta Salata

    Using your hands or a fork, crumble the ricotta salata into small pieces. Sprinkle it over the salad mixture.

  4. 4

    Add Black Olives

    Pit and slice the black olives if they are not pre-sliced. Add them to the salad bowl.

  5. 5

    Chop Heirloom Tomatoes

    Dice the heirloom tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad.

  6. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the shallot vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly and coat them with the dressing.

Bread Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Barbari Bread

    If the barbari bread is not already warmed, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bread on a baking sheet and warm it in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Divide the salad among plates and serve with a piece of warm barbari bread on the side. Enjoy your fresh GA Local Lettuces salad!
