Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the focaccia bread into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the croutons and drizzle with the dressing. Toss well to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the salad and shave Grana Padano cheese over the top. Serve immediately.
