To make the croutons, cut stale bread into 1 inch cubes and add to a large baking sheet.
Using clean hands, toss bread with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper making sure they are well coated.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden on all sides. Set aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, toss white beans with pesto.

Arrange arugula and tomatoes on a large platter and toss with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
