Preparation

Step 1

1. For the salad: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Place baguette cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden brown and crunchy, about 20 minutes.

3. Thinly slice pepper and onion in a food processor and toss with toasted bread cubes in a large bowl.

4. For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil in a slow steady stream until all is combined.

5. Pour half of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss. Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve remaining vinaigrette on the side.
