Wonderful Salad

  1. Early in the day, make the salad dressing. (You want the garlic to mellow.) Mix all the ingredients together, taste, and adjust seasoning and acid to taste. If you refrigerate it, make sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
  2. Tear the soft bread into smallish pieces (or cut it into cubes), toss it with olive oil and a little salt and pepper, spread it on a cookie sheet, and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes till crisp and starting to brown. Set aside.
  3. Toss the salad ingredients together, seasoning as you go. I like to put the romaine in the bowl first and toss it with a little salt and pepper. Then I add the rest of the ingredients, taste and season as needed.
  4. Just before serving, whisk the salad dressing well till blended. Toss salad with dressing a little at a time--you want every piece to be coated with dressing, but you don't want the salad to swim in it. Divide salad among salad plates and top with toasted bread crumbs. Pass bacon and cheese to be added as desired.rn(Actually, you could toss that in, but not everyone in our family eats bacon or cheese, so we pass it separately.)
