Toss the bread chunks in a drizzle of olive oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bread until crispy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
O-YUM Ostrich
While the croutons are toasting, place a second pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich with the remaining NOMU rub until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, cut into bite-sized pieces, and season.
ASSEMBLE THE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar with a generous drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Toss through the salad leaves, the Cucumber, the tomato, the olives, the croutons, and the ostrich.
