  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Rub the bread slices with the cut side of the garlic clove and slice the bread into cubes.
  3. Spritz the bread cubes with olive oil and bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.

  8. Assemble the salads with the grilled romaine and a drizzle of the dressing.
  9. Top with the radishes, chives, capers, and croutons.
  10. Sprinkle with the hemp seeds, microgreens, and red pepper flakes, if using.
