Instructions

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, cut bread into 1-inch cubes.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add bread cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until croutons are golden and toasted, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the mixed greens if they came pre-washed.)

Shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Place in a large bowl.

Juice lemons into the bowl with the parsley. Add mayo, oil, Dijon, maple syrup, and spices, then whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim and quarter cucumbers lengthwise, then cut crosswise into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Medium dice tomatoes. Add to the bowl.

Halve and pit avocados; using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and medium dice. Add to the bowl.

Drain and thinly slice artichoke hearts. Add to the bowl.

Drain tuna and flake with a fork. Add to the bowl, along with mixed greens and cooled croutons, then toss to combine the salad.

To serve, divide salad between plates or bowls and enjoy!
