The best part? The Caesar-ish Dressing, which is egg- and-dairy-free, but still creamy and flavorful enough to make you think you're eating a salad with a Caesar dressing.

Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Steps:

GUY'S CHOP CHOP BREAD SALAD



Guy's Chop Chop Bread Salad image

Guy Fieri was making this salad on his Big Bite show one day and it looked really tasty, so I gave it a try with some modifications. Note: Since this recipe contains bread, it will turn soggy if not consumed right away. If you like, you could serve the bread on the side and let the diners help themselves. Also helps should there be any leftovers.

Tips:

  • Choose a hearty bread: A crusty bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well in the salad and absorb the dressing without getting soggy.
  • Cut the bread into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the salad to stay together.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and color to the salad. Some good choices include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and radishes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings: A simple vinaigrette is a good place to start, but you can also try a creamy dressing, a pesto dressing, or even a honey mustard dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Bread salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and vegetables, and it can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing meal, give bread salad a try.
