Tomato & Crusty Bread Salad
This tomato and crusty bread salad not only boasts with great flavour, but it screams out easy, and the best satisfying meal to be eating in the middle of Summer when the freshest tomatoes are ready for the picking right out of the garden. Even if you didn’t grow your own fresh tomatoes don’t worry, just hustle down to the nearest farmers market or a fresh filled grocery store, and pick a basket of the best tomatoes you can find.
A lot of the time in the Summer especially I really rather eat simple meals that take little time to make, and that are light with very little to no meat at all. This salad has to be one of my favourite meals to eat all Summer long, it defiantly makes the all time favourite list for me, for sure, and the fact that the ingredients list is so little almost makes me wonder if this is even considered a recipe, but if its food combined with certain ingredients I guess it makes it a recipe no matter how simple and easy it is.
I also have another very similar recipe called Balsamic Breaded Tomato Salad, but it has a few extra ingredients that this one doesn’t, as well as the flavours are slightly different. I hope you toss this quick and easy tomato & crusty bread salad up for dinner, either as a side dish or a meatless main dinner, which I personally enjoy very much. Talk to you soon, till next time Ciao for now.

I’ve seen recipes for this salad before, but have never made it (nor do I believe I’ve ever tasted it). It’s so simple and looks like it has great flavor. I definitely need to try this sometime. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Kitchenriffs. The pictures don’t do it any justice, unfortunately I didn’t have my better camera with me on that day, so it shows in the quality of the picture, but trust me this salad tastes refreshing on a hot Summer day, and fresh garden tomatoes are one of my favourite food items that I wait impatiently for every year. Hope you give it a whirl and thanks for stopping by.
