Here’s a summer salad that most people haven’t heard of—Bread Salad! It takes only minutes to prepare and requires absolutely no heat, so give it a chance! It makes a great side, and I think it’s substantial enough to be a meal all on its own.
I know some people refer to it as Soggy Bread Salad, but if you use a firm-textured bread, there is absolutely no sogginess in sight! Pinkie swear.
Bread Salad
