How to make Antipasti dinner salad
1) Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 min. Increase the heat to high; add the bread in batches and toast until golden on both sides. Set aside and season with salt.
2) Whisk the vinegar with the remaining oil, a large pinch of salt and some pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the radicchio, celery, Parma ham, basil, mozzarella and olives. Toss to coat.
3) Place one romaine half onto each plate. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the salad onto each half and serve with the toasts.
