How To Make mediterranean salad
-
1NOTE: 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.
-
2Preheat oven to 350.
-
3Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toss with the oil.
-
4Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning them every few minutes.
-
5They will take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is.
-
6Assemble the cucumber, peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the tomatoes for now.
-
7Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt and garlic together until the salt dissolves.
-
8Add the pepper, cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil.
-
9(May be prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.)
-
10Place the cut up tomatoes on top of the other vegetables.
-
11Pour on the dressing and toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).
