1
Wash and Prepare Lettuce
Rinse the Little Gem lettuce under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel and cut each head in half lengthwise. Place in a large salad bowl.
2
Slice Fennel
Trim the fennel bulb, removing the stalks and fronds. Slice the bulb thinly and add it to the salad bowl with the lettuce.

3
Grate the Cheese
Finely grate the Pecorino Toscano cheese and set aside.
4
Combine Dressing Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix the grated Pecorino Toscano with the Green Goddess dressing until well combined.

5
Toast Breadcrumbs
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6
Combine All Ingredients
Drizzle the Green Goddess dressing mixture over the lettuce and fennel in the salad bowl. Toss gently to coat the greens evenly.
7
Top with Breadcrumbs
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the salad just before serving for added crunch.
