Italian Bread Salad

4 slices Italian or French bread (1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
2 to 3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Lettuce leaves
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Brush both sides of bread with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place on a baking sheet. Broil
5 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Cut
into 1-in. cubes. In a bowl, gently toss the bread cubes, tomatoes, cucumber,
onions and Parmesan cheese. Divide among four lettuce-lined salad plates. In a
small bowl, whisk the vinegar, garlic, basil and remaining oil. Drizzle over
salads. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings.
