Italian Bread Salad

Ingredients:
1 loaf crusty bread
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup cucumber -- peeled and seeded
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
3 cups salads greens, torn
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Directions:
Pull apart or chop the bread into bite-size pieces. I like using a really crusty, even day old, artisan or Italian- type bread. They come in great flavors-basil, garlic, etc, and will be marked down the next day.

Combine the bread, cucumbers, red onions and garlic in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes at the table. This is nice with a simple Italian dressing or vinaigrette. You can also throw in sprigs of fresh herbs such as oregano, thyme or basil.
