Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
In a large bowl, toss together squash, 1 tablespoon of the oil, capers, garlic and pepper.
Transfer to a large baking sheet and bake, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together bread, 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil, sage and half the salt.
Transfer to a second large baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until toasted and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Set both squash and bread aside as done to let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, zest, vinegar, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, remaining salt and pepper to make a dressing.
Add lettuce, onions, squash and bread and toss gently to coat.
Transfer to plates, top with cheese (if using) and serve immediately.
