Directions

  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the bread is toasted.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the bread, tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, artichoke hearts, chickpeas, olives, red onion, feta cheese, and basil.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the bread salad and toss until well combined. Let the salad sit for 30 minutes so the bread can soften a bit. Serve.
