Most salads can be made from any combination of lettuce varieties, with a mixture providing extra flavor, texture, and color. Homemade croutons are like a cherry on a hot-fudge sundae, the crown to perfection. This salad is a fulfilling meal in itself, either for lunch or dinner. Increase quantities of ingredients to satisfy the heartiest appetites.
