Crouton salad

Ingredients

* 1/2 (8-ounces) loaf rosemary bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes* see Cook's Note
* Olive oil, for drizzling
* 3 cups packed arugula
* 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
* 1/4 cup Citrus-Herb Sauce, see Roasted Citrus-Herb Game Hen recipe
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the bread on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until toasted. Set aside to cool.

In a medium salad bowl, mix together the cooled croutons, arugula, and pine nuts. Add the Citrus-Herb Sauce. Toss well until all ingredients are coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

*Cook's Note: You can also use olive bread or any plain rustic loaf in place of the rosemary bread.
