Ingredients
garlic bread
- 2 baguette sliced in half lengthwise, small
- 4 to 6 garlic finely minced, cloves
- 6 tablespoons butter salted
chopped salad
- ½ iceberg lettuce thinly sliced, head
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- 1 chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- 2 ounces salami chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes chopped
- 1 cup radicchio sliced
- ½ cup banana peppers mild
- ¼ cup red peppers chopped, roasted
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls
- 2 ounces smoked provolone cheese diced
zesty vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ tablespoon honey
- ½ tablespoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Note - you can use roasted garlic or garlic confit for this butter which is what I do most often.
- Mash the garlic into the butter with a fork. You can make this fancier by adding in fresh or dried herbs if you’d like! You can also add another pinch of salt if desired.
- Combine the lettuce, onion, chickpeas, salami, tomatoes, radicchio, peppers and cheese in a large bowl.
- In a measuring cup, make the dressing. Whisk together the vinegar, garlic, dijon, honey, oregano, salt and pepper until combined. Stream in the olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressing over the salad and toss well. At this point, you can refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes until you’re ready to use them, or use them right away!
- Heat the grill to the highest setting. Spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the baguette. Once the grill is hot, place the baguette butter-side down on the grill for 2 minutes. Flip and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes until toasted and golden.
- Serve the marinated salad on top of the warm garlic bread. Drizzle on more dressing as desired.
