This simple and easy baby cos salad with crispy onion bread croutons and smoky tahini dressing is perfect as an appetizer or even as a light lunch. If you want to get fancy, top the salad with roasted chicken, steak, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, or chickpeas. The salad is also extremely versatile. It calls for baby cos lettuce, but feel free to use your favorite greens.

While this salad may make the meal, but croutons make the salad. These crunchy bite-sized onion bread cubes taste amazing after soaking up the smoky tahini dressing. However, if you have wheat allergy or on a diet that limits carbs, then use gluten-free bread, or low-carb bread to meet your dietary requirements.
