Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the rye bread slices into small cubes, about 1/2-inch in size.
Toss the rye bread cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the bread cubes in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
While the croutons are baking, prepare the salad base by washing and drying the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Add the thinly sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and cherry tomatoes to the lettuce.
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the salad. Start with half the amount, toss everything together, and add more dressing if desired.
Top the salad with the cooled rye croutons for crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Reuben Salad!
