For crostini: Cut day old or frozen bread into rounds 1/4-inch thick. Char grill or broil toasts on each side. Dot toasts with your infused shallot oil. Top toasts with chopped herbs, black pepper and grated cheese. Broil toasts until cheese is golden brown, 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Assembly: Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Serve with crostini.
