Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400 F.
In a large bowl, toss the bread with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Arrange the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 15 minutes, or until golden. Let cool.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, the red wine vinegar, garlic, fig jam and white wine. Blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, gently toss together the tomatoes, avocados, fennel and feta. When the bread has cooled, add it to the vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the tomato-bread mixture, tossing gently to coat.
Place 1/2 cup of the arugula on each of 6 serving plates. Top each with the salad mixture.
