  2. Scrape dressing into a small bowl and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup oil. Taste for salt. Transfer dressing to a seal-able jar and chill until serving time. You can make the dressing several days ahead if desired.
  3. To make the croutons, first make the garlic infused oil buy adding the smashed garlic cloves to the olive oil.

  9. Serve salad on (chilled) individual plates topped with remaining cheese and croutons as desired.
