Ingredients

• 250 grams sourdough bread
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber
• 0.5 red onion
• 150 grams feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Cut the sourdough bread into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Toast the bread cubes in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 4

While the bread cools, halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber into bite-sized chunks, and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the fresh parsley and dill.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sourdough croutons, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped herbs. Toss gently.

Step 7

Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad and drizzle with the prepared dressing. Toss again lightly to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the best texture or let it sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
