List of Ingredients




2 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes trimmed French bread
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons bottled olive oil vinaigrette
2 medium tomatoes, cored, seeded, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 cups chilled regular or spicy mixed vegetable juice
1 cup drained canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
3/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper

Combine bread, basil and vinaigrette in medium bowl; toss to blend.

Transfer half of bread to heavy medium skillet. Stir over medium-low heat until cubes are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
