Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Grill the Endive

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cut the endive heads in half lengthwise and brush with olive oil. Grill the endive cut-side down for about 3-4 minutes until charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Fry the Capers

    In a small skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the capers and fry until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the French bread into small cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In the bowl with the romaine, add the grilled endive, fried capers, croutons, and Caesar dressing. Toss well to combine.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese and Spice

    Top the salad with grated Grana Padano cheese and sprinkle everything bagel spice to taste. Serve immediately.
