Green salad with warm tomato dressing

Ingredients:

• 1/4 baguette, cut into 0.5 cm cubes.
• 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 shallot, thinly sliced
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 head red leaf lettuce, torn into pieces
• 1 head romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
• 0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 220°C.

2. Prepare the croutons:

   
   Toss the bread cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
   

3. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing:

   
   In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
   
4. Combine the salad in a large bowl. Drizzle with the warm dressing, add the croutons, and toss gently. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese.
