grilled bread, and each person is served a piece of bread with its
share of salad."

Lightly grill or toast the bread and rub one side of each slice with
the cut clove of garlic.

Pour the dressing over the salad and carefully toss the salad on top
of the bread, using it as a base. Correct the seasonings. Each person
is served a piece of grilled bread topped with salad.
