1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
6 3/4-inch-thick slices sourdough flute and baguette

Salad
2 heads Belgian endive, coarsely chopped
1 head curly endive, center leaves only, torn into pieces
1/2 cup pine nuts (about 2 ounces), toasted

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sweet dressing.

The lemon vinaigrette was a bit too tangy for me. I would have preferred a more mild dressing.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of greens, like romaine or arugula.
