Tear the ciabatta into bite-sized pieces and spread them out in a roasting tin. Drizzle with half the olive oil, tossing to coat each piece evenly.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crunchy, with a nice crisp texture.
Add the sliced onion, olives, the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and basil to the bowl with the vegetables. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add the toasted bread and toss everything together.
Let the salad stand for 5 minutes; this allows the bread to absorb some of the dressing and the flavors to meld. Finally, tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, add it to the bowl, and toss until everything is well combined.
