Instructions

  • 1. Place bread cubes on a baking sheet. Place in a cold oven and turn oven on to 350 F (175 C). Bake 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Turn off oven. Place bread cubes on separate plate to cool quickly.
  • 2. Meanwhile combine the lettuce, cucumber, artichokes, and pepperoni in a salad bowl.
  • 3. Combine the vinegar, canola oil, garlic, tarragon and pepper in a small jar, secure lid and shake vigorously until well blended. Spoon the vinegar mixture evenly over the lettuce mixture, add the bread cubes and toss gently, yet thoroughly to blend well. Add the cheese and toss gently.
  • Note: There's no need to preheat the oven, it's time-consuming and the croutons bake in the time it takes to reach 350 F (175 C).
