Bruschetta Salad

1 loaf dense bread cut into cubes
1-2 red, orange or yellow bell peppers
1-2 large tomatoes cut into chunks
1 ball of mozzarella cut into chunks
1/4 c. fresh basil

Dressing:
1-2 cloves garlic finely chopped
6 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Put bread pieces on cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast at 350 for 15 minutes (or broil). Not quite croutons (you have to be patient with this), but toasted on the outside. Meanwhile put all veggies and cheese in a bowl. Pour dressing over top of veggies and cheese to marinate. Add bread and mix right before serving. Very good!
I got this recipe from my friend Jenny and Ivory Home cook book.
