Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the cubed focaccia bread with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine and leaf lettuces. Add the sliced chicken, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
