Steps:
- Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blitz to blend.
- Place all of the salad ingredients except for the cheese in a large bowl. Right before serving, add about half of the dressing and toss well. Add more dressing little by little as necessary; be sure to dress greens very generously, otherwise salad will be bland. Toss in the cheese, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Note: Ricotta salata is an Italian sheep's milk cheese that has a salty, slightly tangy flavor, almost like a dry Italian feta. It is not the same as the wet ricotta in the tub. You can find it at Whole Foods, gourmet grocers or specialty cheese shops.
- Note: Nutritional information was calculated assuming ½ cup of ricotta salata and all of the dressing was used.

Steps:
- Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand, using gentle pressure (this will help release the juices). Cut 1 lemon in half; squeeze juice from each half. Use enough lemons until you have 1/4 cup lemon juice. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a tightly covered jar or container, shake lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
- Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
- Peel the onion; slice onion and separate into rings.
- In a large glass or plastic bowl, place the romaine, onion, olives and artichoke hearts (with liquid). Shake the vinaigrette again to mix ingredients. Pour vinaigrette over the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 large spoons or salad tongs until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the croutons and cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.

- Creamy Polenta. Polenta is a popular side dish in northern Italy, where it is often made to accompany meat dishes in place of pasta. It can also be cooled, then sliced and fried, grilled, or baked.
- Caprese Salad. With fresh, ripe, red tomatoes, aromatic basil leaves, and slabs of soft, fresh mozzarella cheese, the famous tricolor caprese salad is like Italy on a plate.
- Caponata alla Siciliana. Caponata is an eggplant-based stewed vegetable delight that is the Sicilian cousin of traditional French ratatouille. Similar to Sicilian pasta recipes, caponata includes salty, briny ingredients such as capers and green olives for a regional flavor profile that is instantly recognizable.
- Tuscan Focaccia Bread. Focaccia is a much-loved, olive oil-soaked flatbread from northern Italy. Light and airy with a soft and tender crumb, it is often scattered with dried rosemary.
- Panzanella Salad. Faced with a loaf of bread going stale on the counter, Italians will make panzanella salad. This popular side dish or starter is a great way to use day-old bread, which is transformed into seasoned croutons for tossing with fresh salad vegetables and herbs.
- Perfect Grilled Eggplant. Luscious, creamy-tasting grilled eggplant, with crispy bits around the edges, is a yummy addition to antipasto platters and goes great with grilled lamb chops.
- Burrata Salad. With the sweet grilled nectarines, ripe cherry tomatoes, ultra-creamy Italian burrata cheese, fresh salad greens, and an herbaceous pesto dressing, this stunning salad is endlessly exciting.
- Roasted Broccoli Rabe. Roasting stalks of green broccoli rabe (also called rapini) with good-quality olive oil makes the ends crisp and enhances the natural bitterness in this vegetable that is prized by Italians.
- Baked Polenta with Parmesan Cheese. Baking polenta gives it a firmer, crispier texture than the stovetop kind that makes a perfect replacement for rice or potatoes.
- Buttery Garlic Bread. Garlic bread may rank as the OG Italian side dish for a reason. It just doesn't get any better than a crispy, buttery, pungent loaf.
