This has got to be one of my favorite salads because it has every flavor profile I'm usually craving all in one bowl. You'll get slight bitterness from the greens, saltiness from the bacon and anchovies, crunch from the crispy crostini, and sweetness from the vinaigrette. It's so good!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Arrange the bread slices on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush evenly with the olive oil. Bake until toasted, turning halfway through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Combine the escarole and radicchio in a serving bowl. Set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Crumble the bacon.
- Add the anchovy and shallot to the drippings in the skillet and cook until softened and fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the mustard, vinegar, honey, and extra-virgin olive oil until combined. Stir in the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the warm dressing over the lettuce in the bowl, add the crostini, and toss to coat.
