I have made this salad many times over the years and it always receives many compliments. The addition of capers and Greek olives gives it a unique flavor and the bread cubes, a nice crunchy texture. This salad is very easy to prepare and is one of our familyâs favorites. Ingredients:
4 cups cubed italian bread |
1 small cucumber, seeded and cubed |
3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion |
1/4 cup sliced greek olives |
2 tablespoons capers, drained |
3/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette, divided |
5 cups torn romaine |
Directions:
1. Place bread cubes on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until dried and toasted, stirring every 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, onion, olives, capers and toasted bread. Drizzle with 1/2 cup vinaigrette; toss to coat. Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
3. Add romaine and remaining vinaigrette; toss to coat. Yield: 6 servings.
