Categories     Salad

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cubed country-style sourdough bread
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
⅓ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons minced shallot
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 ounces watercress
¼ cup orange segments

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread is toasted but still chewy, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • While bread cools, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Toast almonds in the hot pan, stirring continuously, until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into the frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add shallot and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil and red wine vinegar until blended for a vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss toasted bread, watercress, almonds, and orange segments together in a large serving bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of watercress so I used arugula instead. It was still delicious.
