Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 loaf rustic bread
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarse-grain mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 pounds mixed baby romaine, radicchio di Treviso, and Belgian endive (about 5 heads romaine, 3 heads radicchio, and 3 heads endive)
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved into curls with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Tear bread into bite-size pieces, and toss with 3 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, about 9 minutes.
  • Whisk together mustard, shallot, lemon juice, basil, and remaining 1/2 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Trim core ends of salad greens. Cut romaine heads in half lengthwise, and radicchios and endives into quarters lengthwise. Place half the wedges on a platter, and drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing. Top with remaining wedges, and drizzle with another 1/4 cup dressing. Scatter with cheese and croutons, and serve remaining dressing on the side.
