Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

For the Salad

  1. Cut the crusts off of the brioche loaf. Cut into cubes and put on a baking pan. Drizzle the olive oil and add salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes at 350F. Toss croutons half way through baking.
  2. Chop up red onion. Put into a bowl with the white wine vinegar to marinate.
  3. Cut cucumbers in half and deseed with a teaspoon. Slice them depending on personal preference.
  4. Chop tomatoes into cubes. (Large or small depending on preference).

For the Dressing

  1. Add all of the ingredients into a jar and shake it up. Make sure to crush up the oregano and thyme and mince the shallot.

For the Assembly

  1. In a large bowl, toss the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and marinated onions.
  2. Crumble up and add feta cheese. Give the salad a toss and sprinkle on some more oregano.
  3. Add the croutons, pour the dressing on and toss the salad again.

Notes

  • ANY bread will work for this salad and if your wondering, a stale french bread is probably the most popular as it holds its structure and absorbs all that dressing.
  • You can add butter lettuce, rocket or almost any mixed green to this salad.
  • If making ahead just mix all the main ingredients except the dressing and croutons then add those at the last moment and toss.
