Bread Salad
Bread salad is all about the flavors of summer. The luscious blending of fresh tomatoes at their ripest, mixed with basil, bread, herbs, olive oil and balsamic create a flavor sensation that delights. Try replacing traditional cucumbers with lemon cucumbers and shop around for a nice selection of tomatoes, especially heirloom varieties. This can be served as a side salad, or with the additional of cooked chicken or tofu as an entrée salad.
