Bread Salad with Roasted Peppers and Sicilian Olives

Sourdough or a sturdy peasant bread is needed for this salad. Airy, unsubstantial bread will become soggy very quickly. You can also used jarred roasted peppers and save a lot of time.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian bread crusts removed, cut or torn into 1-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
  • 1 red bell pepper roasted, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper roasted, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 small red onion (or white onion), quartered and sliced thin
  • 1 medium scallion trimmed and sliced thin, including 2 inches of greens
  • 3 tablespoon green olives pitted and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Mix bread cubes and pepper strips in large bowl; set aside.

2. Mix oil, vinegar, onion, scallion, olives, oregano, salt, and pepper in medium bowl; let stand for flavors to develop, about 10 minutes. Add dressing to bread and peppers; toss to combine. If bread still seems dry, sprinkle in 1 or 2 tablespoons water to rehydrate it a bit. Serve. (If sturdy bread is used, salad can be covered and set aside up to 2 hours.)

It's very good but I double the amount of peppers and olives, otherwise there don't seem to be enough.
