Ingredients
  

FOR THE CROUTONS

  • 1 large or 2 small slices bread your choice, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan

FOR THE SALAD

  • 1 head romaine lettuce coarsely chopped
  • 1 plum tomato chopped
  • ½ small onion thinly sliced
  • 8 thin slices salami
  • 3 ounces thick cut provolone cheese cubed
  • 4 pepperoncini peppers thinly sliced, plus 1 teaspoon pepper juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • garlic parmesan croutons

Instructions
 

  • For the croutons, heat a skillet to medium heat with the butter and bread cubes. Swirl to combine, and toast for 5 - 10 minutes, shaking every 2 minutes, until the edges are browned but bread is still slightly chewy inside. Add garlic and parmesan to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Toss the croutons for 1 minutes more until garlic and cheese stick to bread.
  • For the salad, layer the lettuce, onion, tomato, and sliced peppers on a platter. Drizzle with the olive oil and pepper juice, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top the salad with salami, croutons, and provolone.
  • Enjoy!
