Instructions
For the Vinaigrette
- In a small bowl, add the mustard, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic, and salt.
- Add the olive oil and continually whisk until mixed well.
- Set aside.
For the Salad
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil then toss to coat.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (turning halfway through) or until the bread is crispy and lightly browned.
- Remove form oven and allow to cool before assembling the salad.
- In a large bowl, add the arugula, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, basil, and capers if using.
- Add the bread just before serving so it doesn't absorb the dressing.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the entire salad and toss to combine well.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Ciabatta or French bread if desired.
- Substitute white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar for the lemon juice in the vinaigrette, if preferred
