Mid-Summer Italian Bread Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Tamara PHOTO BY: LynnInHK

"Everything in this salad is fresh, except the bread! Prepare this salad by using a loaf of artisan bread or rosemary bread that is a touch stale. If your bread is too fresh, toast it until it is about half as dried and crunchy as a crouton."
