Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring large pot of water to a boil.
On a small rimmed baking sheet toss the cubed bread with the olive oil, cheese and salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, parmesan, olive oil, garlic pepper, and salt. Set aside to let the flavors marry for 5 minutes.
Remove the cloves of garlic from the dressing and discard. To the bowl of dressing add the lettuce, corn, pasta and croutons. Toss well to coat.
