Directions
- Preheat the oven to broil on high and position the rack near the top. Prepare a baking sheet for the croutons.
- Cube the whole grain bread, spread on the sheet, and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with the listed spices and toss to coat, spreading evenly.
- Broil the bread until the edges are golden and toasted, about 3–4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove and let cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing with the red Thai curry paste until blended.
- Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the dressing mixture.
- Wash and dry the cucumber and radish; trim and cut the cucumber into crosswise slices and shave the radish into thin pieces. Add both to the dressing bowl.
- Tear or chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
- Shred the chicken meat from the rotisserie bird and add it to the salad; toss everything to coat and combine flavors.
- To serve, divide the salad onto plates or bowls and sprinkle the croutons on top just before eating.
Two tips
- Tip 1: Croutons can be made ahead and kept in an airtight container for up to a day.
- Tip 2: For a lighter option, skip the croutons and serve with an extra handful of cucumber and radish slices, or swap in a different green you have on hand.
