Ingredients

4 slices multigrain bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup grated dill havarti cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chili sauce
1 cup chopped half-sour pickles, plus 1 tablespoon pickle juice
1 5-ounce container baby kale (about 8 cups)
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 pound deli-sliced roast beef, torn
1/2 pound deli-sliced roast turkey, torn

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the croutons: Toss the bread cubes with the olive oil, cheese and half of the scallions on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to flip and stir the croutons to coat in the melted cheese. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 6 more minutes.
Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise with the chili sauce, the remaining scallions, half of the pickles, and the pickle juice. Toss the kale and iceberg lettuce with half of the dressing in a large bowl. Divide among bowls and top with the tomatoes, roast beef, turkey, croutons and the remaining pickles. Serve with the remaining dressing.
