Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces day-old country bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound cooked cannellini beans (5 1/2 ounces dried beans)
20 fresh basil leaves, torn
8 anchovy fillets, rinsed and chopped (optional)
4 scallions, white and green parts, sliced thinly on the bias
3 medium heirloom tomatoes, seeded and sliced
1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced crosswise
1 yellow or red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil, plus more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees. Arrange the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet, and toast until the bread is completely dry but not browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and gently toss until thoroughly combined. Let stand for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread in my freezer, so I can make this salad anytime I want.

I made this salad ahead of time and it held up really well in the fridge. I'm so glad I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

I omitted the cheese from this salad and it was still delicious! I'm sure it would be even better with cheese, but I'm lactose intolerant.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great! I think the key is to use good quality bread.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different type of vinegar than the recipe called for.

I'm not usually a fan of bread salads, but this one changed my mind. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the bread cubes were perfectly crispy.

This Tuscan bread salad was divine! The flavors were so fresh and bright, and the bread was perfectly chewy.
