Step 1
Increase oven temp to 190C. Place baking paper onto a large, flat baking sheet. Rub each piece of bread with cut side of garlic, drizzle over olive oil then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Step 2
Toast in oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and slice into cubes and set aside.

Salad
-
Step 1
Place raw tomatoes, olives, herbs and avocado into large bowl, season to taste and add dressing – toss together carefully making sure everything is coated with the dressing.
-
Step 2
Add the bread and roast vegetables and toss gently further to combine.
-
Step 3
Allow to sit for 15 minutes or so for the flavours to develop and for the bread to soften. It’s even better if stored in the fridge for a few hours then brought to room temperature for 20 minutes or so.
