Notes
ANY bread will work for this salad and if your wondering, a stale french bread is probably the most popular as it holds its structure and absorbs all that dressing.
You can add butter lettuce, rocket or almost any mixed green to this salad.
If making ahead just mix all the main ingredients except the dressing and croutons then add those at the last moment and toss.
