1
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the bitter lettuces thoroughly under cold water. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
2
Add Fennel
Add the thinly sliced fennel to the bowl with the torn lettuce.
3
Incorporate Herbs
Add the torn fresh herbs to the salad bowl, mixing gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Toast the Breadcrumbs
In a small skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
5
Add Confit Garlic
Chop the confit garlic cloves and add them to the salad. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salad.
6
Season and Toss
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together gently to ensure even coating.
