Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2 cup: French or Italian bread, preferably day old cut in 2 inch cubes
1 tbsp: Olive oil,
1 cup: English cucumber in 1/2 inch cubes,
1/3 cup: Red pepper, 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup: Green onions, thinly sliced
4 cup: Parsley leaves coarsely chopped,
2 medium: Tomatoes, cut in 1/2 " cubes
DRESSING
2 tbsp: Lemon juice,
3/4 tsp: -Salt,
1 large: Garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp: -pepper, black, ground
1 tsp: Cinnamon, ground
1/4 tsp: Allspice, ground
9 tbsp: Olive oil, extra virgin
Directions:
""NOTE: After a couple of hours, the croutons will start to absorb the
dressing. Some people like this; others (including the reviewer for
Toronto Life!) do not. Time the addition of the croutons to suit your
taste." Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the bread cubes on a large
baking sheet & toss with the oil. Bake in the preheated oven until
golden brown, turning them every few minutes. They will take 10 to 20
minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is. Assemble the cucumber,
peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the
tomatoes for now. Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt
and garlic together until the salt dissolves. Add the pepper,
cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil. (May be
prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.) Place the cut up
tomatoes on top of the other vegetables. Pour on the dressing and
toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).
