Chop up and combine salad ingredients. Mix dressing ingredients vigorously with a whisk, using a covered container if desired.Top with croutons and shaved parmesan cheese.

TIP: Make your own croutons.  Slice leftover bread into desired size croutons. In a nonstick pan, heat about ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil and toast the bread in the pan until it becomes crunchy, about three minutes. Add salt, pepper, other spices and herbs such as garlic, rosemary, or basil. Alternatively, preheat oven to 450o, drizzle olive oil and spices of choice over cubes of bread and toast for about ten minutes, making sure not to burn bread.
