    SUMMERTIME BREAD SALAD


    Source of Recipe


    Mcdougall recipe.

    Recipe Introduction


    Heather was traveling recently and enjoyed a delicious bread salad during
    one of her meals out. She came home craving a good bread salad, but
    couldn’t find one anywhere, so she decided to create her own. This is even
    better when you have fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes from your garden or the
    farmer’s market.

    Preparation Time: 20 minutes
    Resting Time: 15 minutes
    Servings: 4

    List of Ingredients




    1 loaf fat-free French or Italian style bread
    1 cucumber
    1 bell pepper
    3 tomatoes
    ½ cup chopped fresh basil
    ¼ cup quartered Kalamata olives
    1 cup fat free Balsamic vinaigrette
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    2 tablespoons hot water
    2 tablespoons vegetable broth
    2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

    Cut bread into 1 inch by 1 inch pieces. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Cut cucumber, bell pepper and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl and mix with the basil and olives. Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a separate
    bowl. Set aside.
    15 minutes before serving, add bread to the vegetable mixture and toss to mix. Add the dressing and toss again. Let rest before serving to allow dressing to soak into the bread somewhat.
