Where My Heart Lives

Mediterranean Bread Salad

Ten years ago, Mediterranean Bread Salad was sure to turn up at every potluck dinner. A year or two later it vanished, maybe because it's better in a bowl than on a plate.

Sometimes I add a little feta cheese and maybe some black olives, and my personal preference is for sweet onion rather than red.

Ingredients:

3 cups leftover wheat or rye bread
1-1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons water (optional as needed)
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed

Instructions:

Cut bread into bite-sized cubes, spread on baking sheet, and dry in oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. (I've been known to skip this step.)

Combine liquids and seasonings in large bowl and whisk to blend. Add the chopped vegetables and mix thoroughly. Add bread cubes last and toss until well mixed.

Chill several hours or overnight, mixing several times. Stir before serving. (Okay, I admit it, I do not get up in the middle of the night to mix my salad. Sue me.)

Freedom: A 2entences Memoir

My father would glance up from washing the dishes, pound frantically on the window, slide it open, and yell, "Get away from there!" In the far corner of the yard, my dog would turn and look at him, consider the admonition, then climb the chainlink, wiggle between the top rail and the extra wire my father had strung six inches above it to prevent this very occurrence, and take off for his hour of freedom.
