First,
make the garlic olive oil. Pour olive oil into a bowl. Add
garlic to oil and stir to combine. Let sit at room temperature
for 3 hours for oil to become infused with garlic.
Now for
the croutons. Heat oven to 375°. Cut bread into thick slices,
then into large 1" cubes. Spread bread cubes in a single layer
on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in oven and crisp croutons
for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Combine
garlic olive oil, melted butter, salt and pepper. Place croutons
in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil mixture. Toss well
to coat the bread cubes.
Spread
bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and return
to the oven to toast, about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Make
the dressing by adding the oil to a bowl. Add remaining dressing
ingredients, combining after each is added.
Place
salad greens in a large bowl. Add about ¾ cup dressing, 1
cup of the croutons and toss. Sprinkle with additional croutons,
freshly grated parmesano-regiano and black pepper. Serve with
a very cold glass of beer.
