2 Meanwhile, toast bread and tear or cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside. In a bowl, arrange beans, lettuce and cucumber.

3 In a small bowl, whisk all remaining ingredients with a fork to combine.

4 To the salad bowl, add croutons, tomatoes, chicken and half of the dressing. Toss gently. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.
