ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
country bread, torn into about 1/2 inch pieces
4 stalks celery & leaves, sliced
1 cup canned chick-peas, drained
4 ounces jarlsberg cheese, cut into about 1/4 inch cubes
¹⁄₂ cup slivered almonds, toasted
¹⁄₄ cup red wine vinegar

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, and the cumin.
Add the bread and toss.
Scatter the bread onto a baking sheet and bake, tossing occasionally, if necessary, until toasted.
In the same bowl, mix the celery, chickpeas, jarlsberg, almonds, vinegar, and the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Add the bread and toss. Let stand for 1 hour.
Season with salt and pepper if you want.
Tip: something I haven't tried is toasting the bread in the toaster first and then dipping.

* Not spicy<br/>* I used cheese on hand, blue cheese, and found this to be very overpowering.<br/>* I'd make this again, with a milder cheese and some different spices to kick up the taste!<br/>* Easy to throw together

We really enjoyed this salad last night with salmon. I used half of a baguette that I bought at the local grocery. This worked well. I am not a fan of Jarlsberg, so I subbed Vermont White Cheddar, which was perfect. The salad is very mild tasting, but good. Both DH and I would have it again so it is going into my keeper file. Thanks! Made for Sun and Spice 2013.

I wasn't sure about how this would taste but it was really good! I used sheepherder's bread. Next time I may use 1/2 sheedherder's bread. I think I'll make this the next time I have some bread that is going stale on my counter. I know it was supposed to sit an hour but hubby and I kept picking at it - it was so good! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT6 - Redhot Renedages.
