Tuscan Bread Salad image

This is a great salad that's easy to prepare, and it's a great way to use up any day old bread you might have leftover. Please don't be restricted to the dressing listed here. Feel free to toss salad with any Italian, or oil and vinegar based dressing of your choice. A balsamic vinaigrette works great with this too.

This Tuscan bread salad is now my go-to summer dish. It's so refreshing and flavorful. I love the contrast between the soft bread and the crunchy vegetables. And the dressing is to die for! I've made it several times already and it's always a hit.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was a total crowd-pleaser. The dressing is so flavorful and the croutons add a nice crunch. I also added some grilled chicken to make it a more substantial meal. Highly recommend!
