  • Making Vibrant Mediterranean Bread Salads Toss Peak-Of-The-Season Vegetables, Fragrant Olive Oil, and Yesterday’S Bread for Some Spectacular Summer Salads
    Making Vibrant Mediterranean Bread Salads Toss peak-of-the-season vegetables, fragrant olive oil, and yesterday’s bread for some spectacular summer salads BY JOANNE WEIR he first time you eat a bread salad, you’ll won- Tder why you’ve never had one before. Imagine a sandwich of ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, thin slices of sweet onion, and sprigs of fresh herbs be- tween thick slices of a chewy, European-style bread. Then imagine tearing that sandwich into pieces, dousing it with vinegar and fragrant olive oil, and tossing it all together in a bowl, and you’ll have an idea of the irresistible combination of textures and flavors that are found in bread salads. In the Med- iterranean, bread salads have been around for cen- turies. They’re part of a culture that knows well how to make a feast from the humblest of foods, even stale bread. A STURDY LOAF FOR A HEARTY SALAD When making bread salad, no ingredient is more im- portant than the bread itself. Bread salads were born of the rustic loaves characteristic of the Mediter- ranean. You should look for the same style of loaf when making your bread salads. You need a sturdy, flavorful loaf that can stand up to a vinaigrette and other wet ingredients like tomatoes without turning to mush. This is no place for plastic-wrapped over- processed white bread. Fresh bread can ruin a bread salad. It becomes soggy too quickly. Be sure your bread is sufficiently stale—at least three days old. When I’m craving a bread salad and the only bread in the house is fresh, I cheat and dry the bread in the oven.
