Hearts of Romaine with Garlic Croutons

Hearts of romaine, the small, paler yellow leaves in the center of the large heads, are crunchy and tender, with a distinctive flavor that stands up well to assertive flavors, such as the blue cheese in the dressing and the garlic in the croutons here. Escarole and frisée, lightly bitter members of the chicory family, can be substituted for the romaine.
