Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place bread cubes in a shallow baking pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; toss gently to coat. Bake about 6 minutes or until toasted, stirring once or twice. Cool.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine bread cubes, tomatoes, onion, and basil. Set aside.

Step 3

For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well. Pour dressing over bread mixture; toss gently to coat.

Step 4

Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve bread mixture over lettuce.
