Bread and Tomato Salad Recipe

Bread and Tomato Salad Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups diced seeded tomatoes
  • 2 cups cubed whole-wheat country bread, crusts removed
  • 1/4 cup thinly slivered red onion
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
  • 4 (4.5 ounce) cans sardines (see Ingredient note) (optional)
  1. Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, bread, onion, basil and capers. Toss to combine. Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow it to absorb the dressing's flavors, stirring occasionally. Serve at room temperature.
