- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread cubes, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Bake the bread cubes for 10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Step 6
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the mixture and stir well to combine, creating a fresh salsa.
Step 7
Allow the salsa to sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Once the bread cubes have cooled, gently toss them with the salsa in the mixing bowl until evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix to prevent sogginess.
