Garlic Bread and Chicken Salad
Set this salad aside for 15 minutes if you’re not pressed for time to allow the tomato juices, oil, and vinegar to thoroughly soak into the bread.
Ingrediënten
- 6 large slices day-old French bread
- 1 garlic clove halved
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 4 large ripe tomatoes cored and chopped
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructies
- Rub the bread on both sides with garlic clove half.
- Cut each bread slice into 1-inch cubes.
- Place the bread cubes in a serving bowl.
- Discard any remaining garlic.
- Add the basil, tomatoes, chicken breast, and red onion to the bread and toss well.
- Set aside while making the dressing.
- Stir the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a cup.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again.
- Let the salad stand for 3 to 5 minutes, so the bread absorbs the dressing.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Vary It!
Olives, goat cheese, feta cheese, and capers add a delightful piquant flavor to bread salad. Add any or all these ingredients in small amounts. But if you do, taste before adding salt.
