Panzanella Salad
Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice one loaf of French bread to equal 2 cups. Place in a non-stick baking pan or casserole dish.
- Drizzle olive oil over top of bread and garnish with oregano.

- Wash and rinse spring salad mix.
- Place greens in a large salad bowl.
- Slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Add to salad bowl.
