Step 1
Cut the 2 bread slices into 1/2 inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and toast at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Add the 4 cups salad greens to the bowl and toss well to coat with the dressing.
Step 4
Cut the 4 oz cheese into small cubes. Top the salad with the cheese and the toasted croutons, then serve immediately.
Step 5
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of dried herbs or a dash of garlic powder to the croutons before toasting.
