Sun-Dried Tomato, Feta and Pine Nut Salad image

A delicious salad fancy enough to entertain with and easy enough to make for yourself for lunch. Try adding grilled chicken strips to make a meal out of it! Serve with balsamic vinaigrette. We love the combination of all these flavors!

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf Italian bread, cubed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup pine nuts
1 cup sun-dried tomato
2 (16 ounce) packages mixed salad greens
4 green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Toss 3 cups cubed Italian bread with olive oil. Season with seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread out in a single layer in a well oiled 9x13 inch baking dish. Broil until toasted, turning to brown evenly. Set croutons aside to cool.
  • Spread pine nuts on a baking sheet, place on bottom rack of the oven, and toast under broiler. This should only take a few minutes, so watch carefully to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
  • Soak sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain, and slice.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss mixed greens with green onions. Top with croutons, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and feta.
