Bread Salad

  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 1 hr 15 min

Ingredients

  • 6 slices day-old French or Italian bread, 1 inch thick
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped (1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup fat-free red wine vinegar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Tear bread into 1-inch pieces. Mix bread and remaining ingredients in glass or plastic bowl.
  • 2
    Cover and refrigerate, stirring once, at least 1 hour to blend flavors and soften bread. Stir before serving.

  • Making bread salad, or panzanella, is a favorite way for Italian cooks to use up dried bread.
  • Not into chopping fresh basil? Try cutting the “chiffonade” approach instead: Stack basil leaves and roll tightly, then cut the roll into tiny slivers.
