Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/4 olive loaf, crust removed, bread cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups) 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 2 heads frisee, torn into pieces (4 cups) 1 head red-leaf lettuce or 4 heads Lolla Rossa, torn into pieces (4 cups) 12 red or yellow cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered 1/2 cup pitted, sliced Kalamata olives (about 2 1/2 ounces) 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 1/2 cup fresh dill leaves 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced

Directions

Make the croutons: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss bread with oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. (Croutons can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week.)

Make the dressing: Puree shallot, vinegar, and lemon juice in a blender. With machine running, gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

Make the salad: Toss together salad ingredients. Sprinkle with croutons, and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Notes Olive bread adds saltiness to the croutons, but you can use any rustic loaf.
