Notes

  • For added crunch, consider using homemade croutons. Simply cube day-old bread, toss with olive oil and your favorite seasonings, and bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • To customize the salad, feel free to add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein, or substitute the Italian dressing with a balsamic vinaigrette for a different flavor profile.
