Tomato Bread Salad
4 ripe tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup Italian dressing
3-1/2 cups toasted bread cubes or packaged croutons
1 medium cucumber, seeded and cubed
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 package (8 ounces) mixed greens, optional
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes and dressing; mix well and marinate for at
least 15 minutes.
Stir in the remaining ingredients except the mixed greens;
toss and serve as is or over mixed greens.
Serving: 4 to 6
Preparation Tip: Making your own toasted bread cubes is a snap. Simply preheat
the oven to 375 F. Place the bread cubes in a single layer in a baking dish and
bake for 15 minutes, or until golden, stirring twice. Allow to cool then use as
directed. |
