Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Add garlic and bread cubes and fry, stirring constantly, until golden. Remove from heat. Add chili seasoning, stir well and cool. Tear spinach or lettuce leaves into bite-size pieces. In a large salad bowl, combine spinach or lettuce leaves, salami, onion, bell pepper and mushrooms.
Place remaining oil in a screw-top jar with lemon juice, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously until well blended. Pour over salad and toss well. Sprinkle croutons on top and garnish with olives. Serve at once.
