Everything in this salad is fresh, except the bread! Prepare this salad by using a loaf of artisan bread or rosemary bread that is a touch stale. If your bread is too fresh, toast it until it is about half as dried and crunchy as a crouton.

TOMATO BREAD SALAD WITH CHORIZO AND HERBS



Tomato Bread Salad With Chorizo and Herbs image

I often make panzanella, the Italian bread and tomato salad. To give it Spanish flair, more heft and a dose of spice, I tossed in cubes of crisp cured chorizo. We ate it for dinner one night and fried up the leftovers for brunch, topped with poached eggs.

SIMPLE TOMATO HERB SALAD



Simple Tomato Herb Salad image

This is a basic tomato salad that's great with just about any summer meal. I must say all these measurements are a bit of a guess. I don't measure anything, but just drizzle the olive oil and vinegar in until it "looks right" and tastes good too! You need really fresh, juicy flavourful tomatoes to make this salad work. A bit of feta cheese is a nice addition.

Tips:

  • Using ripe, juicy tomatoes is key to a flavorful bread salad. Look for tomatoes that are bright red and have a slight give when gently squeezed.
  • Choose a crusty bread that will hold up well to being soaked in the dressing. A good option is a rustic Italian or French bread.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give your salad a more vibrant flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to your salad, such as cucumbers, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • You can also add protein to your salad, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Serve your bread salad immediately after it's made, or the bread will start to get soggy.
