  • 1
    In large bowl, toss together salad ingredients. In glass jar with tight fitting lid, shake together dressing ingredients. About 1/2 hour before serving, pour dressing ingredients. About 1/2 hour before serving, pour dressing to taste over salad and toss until nicely mixed. Cover bowl and refrigerate until serving time. Serves 6 An Italian bread salad is more than a salad sprinkle with croutons. The bread is deeply flavored with olive oil and vinegar.
