Bread and salad! Two or my favorite things combined into one yummy treat. The versatility within the recipe is abundant. You can add many other components to the salad: red peppers, olives, feta cheese, spinach, etc. Utilize ingredients you have to turn it into something delicious.

This recipe also hold well over night, once it's been mixed. All of the flavors continue to work together as they set. —Erin Powell
