"A cross between panzanella (Italian bread salad) and an upscale chef's salad, this recipe calls for more croutons than lettuce and incorporates cubes of fontina and strips of silky cured ham. Use either a mild Dutch or Danish fontina or a more assertive Italian cheese, depending on your taste...."
