Salad With Bread

🖨 Print & View 👁

This Middle Eastern-inspired bread salad transforms simple ingredients into a refreshing, flavorful dish. Crispy toasted Syrian bread provides the perfect base for crisp vegetables, aromatic herbs, and a bright lemon-olive oil dressing. Ready in minutes, this versatile salad makes an excellent light lunch or accompaniment to grilled meats. The combination of parsley, mint, and garlic delivers authentic Mediterranean flavors that become even more pronounced as the ingredients mingle, though you'll want to serve it immediately for the best texture.

Ingredients

2 loaves Syrian bread (or any crusty bread)

1 bunch chopped parsley

1 bunch chopped green onions

1 peeled cucumber, cut in small pieces

4 tomatoes, cut in small wedges

1 chopped green bell pepper

1 clove crushed garlic

Juice of 2 lemons

½ cup olive oil

2 tbsp chopped fresh mint or 2 tbsp dried

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Toast bread, break into small pieces.

Set aside.

Mix chopped vegetables and mint.

Add garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Toss vegetable mixture with bread and serve immediately so bread is not soggy.

Servings

Serves 4-6 as a side dish

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
🍪 Cookie Policy: Cookies are only used for registered users for the keep logged-in function, if you select it. They are also used to let us know that you don't want cookies set. Ironic, ain't it!
