Italian Style Bread Salad
This is a perfect summer salad which is also a good use for leftover bread. The bread is even better if slightly stale as it stays crunchy when the dressing is added.

Serves: 4
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 (500g) loaf Italian bread
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup peeled, seeded and diced cucumber
- 1 cup peeled and diced red onion
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 cups chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
Preparation:10min ›
Ready in:10min

This salad was divine! My fiance absolutely loved it! I found when that if you toast fresh bread pieces in warm olive oil mixed with minced garlic it adds a great flavor. - 02 Feb 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This salad was wonderful! Very fresh tasting and flavorful. I chopped all ingredients in food processor except for tomatoes and bread. Did not measure salad ingredients (only dressing). Ended up with a lot of salad so I doubled dressing. My picky husband enjoyed this! The next day I used the salad (minus bread) as a sauce. I sauteed boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces; added salad and heated through and served over pasta. Very tasty. Will definitely make this again! - 22 Jul 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Excellent taste. Very fresh! I kept the bread and salad separate, then we spooned each into individual bowls and tossed. This way, leftovers won't be a soggy mess. We added salt and pepper. - 10 Jul 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
