Ingredients

2 cups italian bread shell
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup english cucumber in 1/2 inch cubes
1/3 cup sweet red bell pepper 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup scallions, spring or green onions thinly
4 cups parsley leaves coarsely chopped
2 medium tomatoes cubes
Dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large garlic cloves finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/4 teaspoon allspice ground
9 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin

Directions

""NOTE: After a couple of hours, the croutons will start to absorb the dressing.

Some people like this; others (including the reviewer for Toronto Life!) do not.

Time the addition of the croutons to suit your taste.

" Preheat oven to 350F.

Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toss with the oil.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning them every few minutes.

They will take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is.

Assemble the cucumber, peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the tomatoes for now.

Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt and garlic together until the salt dissolves.

Add the pepper, cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil.

(May be prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.

) Place the cut up tomatoes on top of the other vegetables.

Pour on the dressing and toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).

This recipe is very close and almost as good as what is served at a local resturant here called Richard's. I'll make it again sometime.
