1
Prepare the Croutons
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes (about 1-inch in size).
2
Season the Croutons
In a bowl, combine the bread cubes, olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped sage, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the bread is well coated.
3
Bake the Croutons
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
4
Prepare the Salad
While the croutons are baking, rinse the radicchio and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the radicchio in a large salad bowl.
5
Add Cheese and Dressing
Grate the Parmesan cheese and add it to the bowl with the radicchio. Drizzle the Cæsar-style dressing over the salad.
6
Toss the Salad
Toss the salad gently to combine the radicchio, Parmesan, and dressing evenly.
7
Add Croutons
Once the croutons are finished baking and cooled slightly, add them to the salad and toss gently to incorporate.
8
Serve
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer. Enjoy your Insalata Nostrana!
