St. Louis Bread Company Bread, Tomato and
Basil Salad
1/2 loaf Saint Louis Bread Company sourdough
3/4 cup chicken or beef stock
4 ripe tomatoes, cubed
1 cucumber, halved and sliced
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
4 tablespoons light olive oil
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
10 basil leaves, thinly sliced
Fresh lettuce leaves
Cut the crusts off the bread before cutting into 1-inch cubes. Place
the cubes in a large salad bowl with the tomatoes, cucumber, green
onion and roasted peppers. Pour the stock over this mixture and toss
well. Whisk the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together in a glass
measuring cup. Pour the dressing over the bread mixture and toss
gently. Finish by scattering the thinly sliced basil over the top.
Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes.
