Ingredients
Crostini:
1/2 baguette loaf, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salad:
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head Bibb or butterhead lettuce, leaves torn
1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1/3 packed cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/3 packed cup mint leaves, chopped
Directions
- For the crostini: Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. In a small bowl, using a fork, mix the butter and cheese together until smooth.
- For the salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and oil until combined and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the lettuce, fennel, basil, and mint in a salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
- To serve: Spread the Parmesan butter on the toasted bread and serve alongside the salad.
