BREAD****Tuscan Bread Salad - Mediterranean Fresh

By Unblond1

24/04/10 - Very good lunch for me. Would make a nice side dish as well if you scaled it down a bit. Tomato vinaigrette is very good with it but it would handle a basic or red-wine vinaigrette just as well.

Ingredients

• 55 grams bread of choice, cubed and toasted
• 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 pickling size cucumber, diced or sliced, or equivalent amount of zucchini
• 1 tbsp. minced red onion or shallot
• 1 tbsp. fresh basil chiffonade
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 1 ounce mozzarella or feta or Haloumi, diced
• 2 Tbsp. basic Red Wine Vinaigrette
