Mega Italian Salad

My favourite big Italian salad. The homemade dressing is seriously tasty! The croutons and dusting of parmesan is the perfect finishing touch that everybody loves. Serve with pasta, a cosy lasagne or big tray of cannelloni. Lots of suggestions in the post!{No video today because I thought this was quite straight forward. But if you want one, leave me a message below!}
