A different way to serve a sandwich or salad – Tuscan Bread Salad made with leftover day old bread. What I love about this salad, is how you turn day old bread into a salad with a few of your favorite vegetable toppings. Beware: if you use fresh bread, the bread becomes soggy! If you don’t have day old bread, you can cheat by toasting cubed bread in the oven.
There are a lot of variations of this salad – here’s one of my favorites: leftover roasted peppers, roasted artichokes, roasted garlic, pitted olives, fresh tomatoes and fresh chopped basil. Measure 1/2 cup of each of the toppings to five cups of cubed bread. Drizzle your favorite extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
A perfect vegan and vegetarian salad ….
a presto,
Maria
