Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Rub the garlic on both sides of the bread. Cut each slice into cubes, and place in one layer on a baking pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.

Heat the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat and shake well until lightly toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes; set aside.

Mix the vinegar, mustard, oil, salt, and pepper together. Toss the salad greens with the dressing. Top the salad with croutons and nuts.
