1. In a shaker jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine garlic, mustard, vinegar, 6 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper to taste, cover and shake to combine.

Once hot, add bread cubes and salt and pepper to taste and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, or until nicely browned, remove from heat. In a large bowl, combine artichokes, both tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, toasted bread cubes and vinegar mixture and toss to coat.
