BHG says This colorful Tuscan salad may be the inspiration of thrifty cooks using up day-old bread, but its sheer simplicity has made it an all-time favorite. Juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers give it refreshing coolness. Ingredients:
3 cups day-old italian bread, torn into bite-size pieces or cut into 1 inch cubes |
1 lb tomato, seeded and coarsely chopped |
1/2 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges and separated |
1/2 small cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks |
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups torn mixed greens |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl combine bread cubes, chopped tomatoes, onion, cucumber, basil, parsley, and minced garlic.
2. For dressing: In a glass measure stir together vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper; spoon over salad.
3. Toss gently to coat.
4. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
5. Serve over torn greens.
